Central Community College, in partnership with the National Center for Next Generation Manufacturing, is cosponsoring four professional development opportunities this summer and felt you may have an interest in attending.
Currently, our high school instructors which are acting as facilitators come from a variety of teaching backgrounds. In some cases, they don't have an electrical background. They just need to have an interest in this area and have time in their high school schedule to help facilitate classroom activities. During each of these trainings, the facilitators and college instructors will build separate trainers from the beginning and go through lessons which are part of the web-based course. It is our goal that the local community college will work with the high school to offer dual credit to the high schools. In Nebraska, the community college is providing the instructor of record for the college credit and the facilitator helps the students and provide classroom management. Your school may choose to use these trainers differently than we do in Nebraska. The following are details regarding each session, and what you will receive. Classes must be taken in this sequence.
