Mike Sandell and Ryan Dewey Receive Awards
Mike Sandell and Ryan Dewey were honored by the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association at the Annual Conference last week.
At the 2017 ITEEA Annual Conference, Ryan Dewey was awarded the ITEEA Teacher of Excellence and Michael Sandell was awarded the ITEEA Distinguished Technology & Engineering Professional. This years conference was held March 16 - 18 in Dallas, Texas.
Sponsored by ITEEA and Goodheart-Willcox, The Teacher Excellence Award is one of the highest honors given to technology and engineering education classroom teachers and is presented in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the profession and their students. The Teacher Excellence Award provides public recognition at the local/state through international levels. The Teacher Excellence Awards program was established to identify outstanding technology and engineering teachers who will serve as models for their colleagues and who could form a leadership core to affect change in the field.
ITEEA's Distinguished Technology and Engineering Professional (DTE) designation is a coveted mark of distinction in technology and engineering education. It recognizes technology, innovation, design, and engineering educators who have demonstrated a high level of competence and professional activity in the field of technology and engineering education. This award recognizes the theoretical top 5% of Technology and engineering teachers, Teacher Educators and Supervisors.
Consideration for the award is based upon documented evidence of leadership/management skills, continuing participation in association education programs, and demonstration of leadership in association, community, and personal activities. The Distinguished Technology and Engineering Professional program acknowledges the essential principles of adult learning. It incorporates into the process recognition and credit for work experiences and other accomplishments. The program recognizes those areas of technology and engineering education the DTE Board has determined to be most reflective of successful professional attainment.
Grab and Go Breakfast Cart at the Middle School
The "new and improved" breakfast cart and contest winner Luke Baldes.
Chisago Lakes Middle School started Grab-and-Go Breakfast last year. This year, the food service department purchased a breakfast cart to have at the front door each morning for students to get breakfast and take to their morning class. This was made possible by a SHIP grant of $1,500.00 from the Chisago County Health Department and a matching gift of $1,500.00 from middle school principal Jodi Otte.
A contest was held for the students to give the breakfast cart a name. There were many very good names submitted and it was a difficult choice. The winning entry was "Jumpstart Cart" by Luke Baldes, an 8th grade student. Luke was awarded a $25.00 Walmart gift card for his winning submission.
Over at Lakeside Elementary, student reps picked a new menu item that seems to be going over well...at least with the boys! And Packer fans.
