Why are professional development and
continuing education important to you?
You're never too old or experienced to learn something
new. Professional development gives you the opportunity
to learn new research, technologies, methodologies and
educational tools that will make you a more effective
instructor. Staying current through professional
development will allow you to remain relevant and
engaging as an educator.
What's one thing you think career
education leaders can do to improve
institutional performance?
Career education leaders need to keep the curriculum and
hands-on training relevant and engaging for both students
and educators while staying current on standards and
technologies. Curriculum should be developed around
pertinent learning objectives, and instructors should be
encouraged to deliver that curriculum in a sincere and
real-world manner.
