A part of our jobs is training scholars with the technical skills from our professional trades, but what techniques, systems, or experiences do you utilize to teach the professional skills?

Mine are program specific and come from my years in the industry. If the CTE bowl continues to grow, maybe we could add subject matter taught to help each other out more.
There are resources in Virginia as well as SkillsUSA that can help. I would suggest checking that out.
I do “live work” and the students listen in on the conversations with customers. It helps them because they are seeing something as close “educationally” as possible to what the industry is

I teach Culinary Arts. To facilitate the instruction of cooperative learning, each student group has color coded job tags that they wear in class. The team leader reads the recipe and tells the grocer what tools and ingredients to get. The leader also tells the cook how to combine and prepare these ingredients. Groups with 4 students have an assistant who helps each person in the group as needed.

The use of color coded job tags makes it easy to spot students who aren't following the cooperative group structure. only students with green grocer and orange assistant tags should be getting supplies. Only students with blue cook tags should be handling the ingredients at each station. The team leader (white tag) should have the recipe.

Agree with Virginia’s comment about group work and communication. Many high school students can’t make eye contact when speaking to a teacher. I demand my students talk to me and look at me. Awkward? Yes. But it gets better for everyone - I promise! And more work? You betcha! But well worth it.

How do you approach collecting documents from a client in response to discovery requests? Particularly with broad and vague document requests that leave you guessing about what the other side is looking for, even after you meet and confer. I’m realizing no one ever taught me a systematic approach to this problem. And that big, name-brand companies are absolutely terrible about record-keeping or even knowing what records they have.

At this point, I’m only staying for fear of how it will look on my resume.
