It is extremely important that as an association, ACTE make every effort to encourage, promote, reward and develop quality teaching. As your Special Needs Division Vice President, I will work within the Career & Technical Education community to achieve the following goals: * Ensure all special needs students receive a quality education * Provide a showcase for quality programs through the use of the ACTE website, email, and printed material to assist schools in building quality programs * Produce a newsletter and develop a listserve whereby special needs teachers can share instructional practices * Work with special needs interest groups to create a community of educators These goals cannot be accomplished without the thousands of Special Needs educators throughout the nation providing programs and services for special populations. Therefore, my primary goal as Vice President will be membership in ACTE Special Needs Division. |
