ACTE Region V 2025

The analogy of "rolling the dice" in Las Vegas aptly illustrates the uncertainty and risk involved in trying new approaches in the classroom. Just like in a game of chance, introducing innovative teaching methods or materials can bring unpredictable outcomes—sometimes resulting in success, while other times, not yielding the desired results. However, despite the uncertainties, taking these risks is an integral part of growth and improvement in education. Each attempt, even if it doesn’t turn out as expected, offers valuable insights and the opportunity to learn and refine strategies for future success. The key is to embrace the uncertainty, learn from both successes and setbacks, and adapt accordingly to continually enhance the learning experience for students.   This is what CTE educators do best!
