In this episode of Brighter Together, I sit down with Maria Libby, superintendent of MSAD 28 and Fivetown Community School District, and Michael Felton, superintendent of St. George Municipal School Unit. We explore the transformative approach of integrating Career and Technical Education (CTE) from kindergarten through high school. Maria shares insights on the benefits of outdoor and project-based learning in her districts in Midcoast, Maine, while Mike discusses the innovative pre-K to 12 CTE program in St. George, emphasizing hands-on, minds-on learning. We also delve into the challenges and opportunities posed by technology and AI in education, highlighting the importance of balancing digital tools with real-world experiences to foster student engagement and community connection. Join us as we uncover how these educational leaders are pioneering a revolution in early education.
