Summer Quarterly News Update | | |
Greetings Business Education Division members, | |
Welcome back to another school year. As always, there are a lot of mixed emotions heading back to school and away from the relaxing summer break. The hectic nature of things can seem exciting in one moment and overwhelming in the next. As educators, we are experts in managing the ups and downs of moments. We apply this skill subconsciously every day, all day, for our students. It’s essential that we not forget to apply this for ourselves and our own well being because our wellness directly affects how well we can care for the students in our charge.
With every new school year comes some level of change and whatever changes you’re facing this year, the Business Division at ACTE is here to support you and excited for you to be one of us. I hope things are off to a smooth and friendly start and I encourage you to use your ACTE membership as a reminder that you are not in this alone. Please consider attending Vision this year, in Phoenix, Arizona, as we have another great series of days planned for you.

Well wishes and I hope to see you in Phoenix,
Sean Crevier
VP, Business Education Division
