A Bonus Day in February means a Bonus Day of CTE Month! A big part of Career and Technical Education are CTSOs (Career and Technical Student Organizations) that give students leadership experience and opportunities to apply their classroom knowledge. As a current FCCLA Advisor and a proud FFA Alumni member, I am always looking for ways to encourage students to join CTSOs or other student organizations. As the last part of my master's degree program last fall, I took a closer look at the student perspective of the relationship between co-curricular involvement & their high school experience. In my research project, I found that students involved in co-curricular organizations: ⭐ Were more likely to feel like they were an important part of their school community ⭐ Felt supported by teachers and school staff ⭐ Agreed that they looked forward to parts of their high school experience ⭐ Reported a greater sense of belonging in school ⭐ Noted positive impacts of their involvement including many responses of gaining friends and social skills, making them happier, providing personal development and adding positive school experiences . If you're interested in hearing more about my research & findings, feel free to check out my blog or presentation: https://lnkd.in/gdAihk2Z . To celebrate CTE Month: I'm curious, how have CTSOs or other co-curricular organizations impacted you?

A new report from our team at American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) underscores the impact of the practices and strategies outlined in the Postsecondary Value Commission's Action Agenda and highlights the promising practices at AASCU institutions that are advancing student success and equity.   It is no surprise that Leadership and Culture were most frequently identified as crucial to closing equity gaps. AASCU Consulting places significant focus on our work with university leaders and their leadership teams. The presence of strong, cohesive leadership teams at all levels of the institution enhances the ability to address complex issues, foster a culture of adaptability and innovation, and pursue new strategies with greater focus and collaboration—all key factors for leading institutional transformation.
