Ohio Department of Education T&I Educator Newsletter

Comments from the Director
The Regional Competitions are completed and anticipation is building for the upcoming SkillsUSA Ohio State Championships in April.  Thank you to all who hosted the Regional Competitions.  Hosting a contest is a monumental and rewarding experience.  This week I am excited to welcome the T&I Administrators to Columbus for the upcoming OTIESA/CTEP Conference.  The Executive Committee is preparing a great agenda of professional development critical to the future of T&I education.  This week's update is loaded with a lot of information to be shared with your instructors.  Please make sure anyone who has students competing in the state championships monitors the State website page.  We will begin posting individual contest information this week and hope to have all tool list and specifications posted by March 18.
