This month’s podcast episode features host Matt Cola interviewing Lucy Ott, a veteran former CTE teacher and current Northeast Ohio Tech Prep Coordinator at Lakeland Community College.

This episode kicks off a two-part series aimed at supporting new CTE educators. In the first episode, listeners will gain valuable insights on navigating their first year as a CTE teacher, marketing their programs, implementing strategies for recruitment and retention, and designing effective curriculum for the first year.

This series is both an excellent complement for those who attended our Career Technical Education Summit, and a helpful resource for those who couldn’t make it.

Be sure to tune in for part two in November, where we’ll cover the fundamentals of Career Technical Student Organizations, WebXams, work-based learning, graduation seals related to CTE, and industry-recognized credentials.

If you have questions for Lucy about her experience teaching a CTE program, feel free to reach out to her at [email protected].
