Update

Greetings ETED Members,

As I prepare for the new school year, I have come to realize we spend most of our lives searching for the perfect destination and sometimes never find it. Which leads me to believe that our lives are more about the journey and our experiences along the way. As we embark on a new school year let us not worry about the beginning or the end, but instead enjoy each day along the trek!


The Engineering and Technology Education Division (ETED) would like to recognize the efforts of members across the country who are making a difference and impacting students’ lives. No one has been nominated for our division awards. To recognize member achievements, the awards deadline has been extended to Sept. 30. Please take some time to nominate a worthy colleague as I know great instruction and partnerships have been delivered this past year.  


Please read below for additional opportunities available through your ACTE membership. 


ETED members should also know there is always a place available for those who are interested in becoming more involved with division activities. Serving at the national level is important for improving high-quality CTE programs on a larger scale impacting student success across the nation. Our work is worthy and it is important. Please contact me at richelle.downey@tulsatech.edu to find out more information about opportunities to serve and lead within the division. 


In closing, remember we are running a marathon and not a sprint. Make self-care a priority as a first step in caring for your students. Please make time to stop and smell the roses. I look forward to connecting with you at Vision22, whether in person or online.




Richelle Downey

VP, ACTE Engineering and Technology Education Division
