HUSD launched a new series of Career Readiness Workshops specially designed for students in our CTE programs. The first of five workshops will take students through a professional development training related to the essential and transferable skills being highlighted across all of HUSDs CTE programs this year including; Communication, Problem Solving, Teamwork, and Professionalism. Today, CTE Construction Tech students at Sultana participated in the first workshop where they learned how employers define each of the essential skills in the workplace and then took personal inventory of how they're mastering each of them within their CTE classes. Future workshops launching over the coming months include; Resume Writing, Job Searching, Preparing for Your Interview, and concluding with Mock Interviews hosted by our industry partners in the spring.

For today's #SchoolSiteHighlight we are going to Hollyvale. At Hollyvale Innovation Academy, every student and staff member belongs to one of four groups called Nests. These Nests are like teams where everyone participates and feels connected. Nests provide a sense of belonging, foster friendships, and promote positive school culture. They encourage students to develop character traits like resilience, innovation, support, and equity. Students earn points for their Nest by demonstrating positive behaviors and academic success. The Nest with the most points each week is recognized and celebrated. Nests meet regularly for activities, learning, and building community. Nests create a strong sense of belonging and support. Students develop positive character traits through the reward system. Healthy competition encourages teamwork and effort.

The students learned about effective classroom strategies for circle time and how conscious discipline ties into everything we do in the ECE classroom. The students had fun interacting and learning with our presenters.
