Consortium Offers Contextual Learning Workshop
Central Texas Tech Prep Consortium is offering a contextual learning workshop with Theresa Spangler June 11-12. “The Perfect Storm – Teachers Must Steer a New Course” addresses the convergence of three events creating the perfect storm in education: the world has changed, schools have changed, and students have changed. The workshop will examine the characteristics of Generation Y and offer practical suggestions to prepare students for life after high school. This workshop is the perfect venue for academic and CTE teachers (8th – 12thgrades) to work together and develop lesson plans.
Workshop leader Theresa Spangler is a highly energetic and sought-after national speaker and a high school English teacher from Georgia. Believing that students learn best when they experience the application of knowledge, Theresa is a strong advocate of applied academic curricula. She is also the Tech Prep Site Team Leader at Brunswick High School.
The workshop will be held at the Temple College Pavilion from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM each day. There are a limited number of stipends available to teachers from member districts.

Culinary Arts Education Opportunities
According to “Food for Thought”, a publication of the Texas Restaurant Association, Texas has a $33 billion food industry which employs close to one million people. As culinary careers become increasingly popular and as high schools upgrade facilities from residential style kitchens to professional kitchens, many are looking for ways to provide industry based education opportunities for their students.
In addition to helping school districts with curriculum and resources, the Texas Restaurant Association Education Foundation offers several training opportunities such as the Culinary Educators Training Conference scheduled for June 30-July 2 in Austin and the Teachers Externship Program scheduled during the summer months. For more information about these programs, please go to www.restaurantville.com and click on Education Foundation and then Educators.
