At a conference in Phoenix, Arizona, ConVal's Career and Technical Education (CTE) instructor Sarah Grossi recently presented on strategies to fill the educator shortage gap and increase the educator workforce by building A Grow Your Own (GYO) program that prepares youths who already have a strong connection to the school and community.
Grossi's workshop laid out the various ways that Teacher Preparation and Early Childhood Education instructors can place their students into early childhood, elementary, and middle school classrooms for hands-on training. Participants explored ways to embed practicum experiences in classrooms at a variety of ages and grade levels and with specialists such as speech therapists, occupational therapists, and family consumer science, art, music, and physical education teachers. Attendees also learned about the effectiveness of paired placements and discussed ways for students to collaborate with cooperating teachers to create, implement, and reflect on lessons.

Congratulations to senior Jennifer Hopkins whose latest film, "Chasing The Past," has been selected as an entry to the All-American High School Film Festival (AAHSFF) in New York City this weekend. According to Hopkins, "my film illustrates the desire to know more about your ancestors, and in turn know more about who you are and where you come from."
The All-American High School Film Festival is the premier destination for talented high school filmmakers and media arts enthusiasts from around the world. Its mission is to provide immersive education with a profound impact, connecting the filmmakers of the future with the rewards, respect, and recognition they deserve.
Each year, the AAHSFF presents the world's largest high school film festival and offers a grand stage for the next generation of talented filmmakers where they create a community of shared passions and lifelong relationships. The AAHSFF provides a forum where participants screen their amazing creations, learn from top industry professionals, connect with the latest technology, explore myriad higher education opportunities, and receive scholarships and technology prizes.
When an order is placed online, the parent/guardian will receive a camera pass via email. This can either be printed or texted to the student and brought to picture day. The photographer will photograph the printed camera pass along with the student.
If a student is not able to print their camera pass, that is not a problem. We will match up the student to their order manually in the production process.
A parent may order from the flyer up until 24 hours after picture day. After 24 hours, the online ordering access may close. This will allow our imaging team to "Pull" all orders submitted and match them with the students photographed.
When pictures are returned to school, all students who purchased pictures will receive their prepaid package. Any student who was photographed but did not order a package, will receive a "Proof" (PX) of their picture that was taken on picture day.
All proof packages offer parents a second opportunity to order prints. All orders are subject to shipping and handling costs of up to $8.50 and will be shipped directly to home.
