From Exec Dir of Online Education, Tom Smith

Hello CEC Families, 

I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend weather and that your week is off to a strong start! As we steadily approach Spring Break, please continue to create goals, attend class, monitor progress, and reach out with any questions or requests for support. I encourage you all to continue working hard to position yourself for a fun and relaxing break from synchronous classes! Students, I look forward to seeing you in our Basecamp channels, Basecamp meetups, weekly activities and in our newly approved Student Council, which will kick off this Thursday with Mr. Clason! Please reach out with any questions and have a great week!  

Mr. Smith 

Staff Spotlight!

This week we would like to spotlight Ms. Laura Huber who is our Statewide Assessment Coordinator.

Education profile:

Associate of Arts Early Childhood Education-- Cincinnati State Technical and Community College

Certificate of Deaf Studies- Cincinnati State Technical and Community College

Bachelor of Science Interdisciplinary Studies- Colorado State University Global

Ms. Huber's role entails all assessments outside of classes including state, district, and college assessments. She is proud to be able to implement a new role and develop a strong assessment program. Ms. Huber would like people to know how flexible our program is and how it can adapt to almost any student's situation and needs.

She is seen here with some of her favorite little people in the world, her nieces.

Thank you Ms. Huber for the many roles you've had at CEC since 2019 and now with us at CEC Online Campus! 

Staff Spotlight!

CECOLC would also like to spotlight Mrs. Teresa Suarez who started with CEC in 2012 teaching MAT030, MAT060 and MAT090 and, later, Earth and space science and physics. She transitioned over to CECOLC in 2021 teaching all of the math classes for the middle school and high school classes. 

Her education profile:

Pre-Med Degree (with one year of Med School and Respiratory Care Therapy)

Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration

Master's Degree in Teaching with Technology 

Mrs. Suarez said: "I teach all the high school math classes at CECOLC as well as set up the ALEKS classes online for all math classes. I hold one-on-one meetings with students to tutor or just as check-ins to make sure that they have everything they need to succeed. I also hold parent/teacher conferences once a semester to give an update to families on their students' progress and make plans to see them succeed.

I love meeting all our families here at CECOLC and helping students reach their educational goals. It is so rewarding to see students learn and move forward in their classes at the pace that makes the best sense for them.

CECOLC is willing to work with all students to reach their educational goals, as long as the student is willing to work to reach their goals. We are a team, and a team only works well if it works together to reach the common goal."

In the photo, Mrs. Suarez is with her daughter who was married in August.



We are fortunate to have Mrs. Suarez and all of her experience here at CECOLC.
