NISD CTE

🏁From classroom to pit crew 🏎️Watch how a group of STEM Academy seniors work together as a real engineering team to design, build, and race an electric vehicle + hear from our STEM Coordinator about how students are gaining practical skills as part of this unique competition!

Northwest STEM Academy Racing made history today, competing for the first time in an Electrathon America race! 🔋🏎️ Four NHS seniors have been working to build an electric car, and today it hit the track against cars from area districts. 📸bit.ly/47rBlNx

IPET Interns took a field trip to the NISD Admin Building to learn about school finance and governance for an upcoming TSU 1301 dual enrollment course assignment. Special thanks to our amazing guest speakers! @NHSTeachTrain

Learning extends beyond the CTE classroom📝Teaching & Training students from @ByronNelsonHigh, @EatonHighSchool & @NHSTexans visited the admin building for their Tarleton State Univ dual credit course, engaging with district leaders on governance, finance & public education.

1st week back after spring break has already been busy! A BNHS Teaching & Training alumni, Sydney Breinholt, was asked to be on a panel for our CTE PD to talk to teachers about their competitive advantage after graduating from our programs. Graduating from UT soon w/ a SPED cert!

As part of our training day, CTE teachers assembled Classroom Treasure Kits (available to teachers at the NEF Resource Store). It was a fun + small way to give back to Northwest ISD Education Foundation - an organization that supports staff and students in big ways! @IsupportNEF

⏩CTE teachers are ALL IN for students! The 4th quarter began with a day of learning, collaboration, and inspiration. We showcased the CTE Competitive Advantage with an Alumni Panel including 6 former CTE students + learning sessions focused on instructional technology tools.

@NorthwestISD What a great day seeing the boat designs and testing the functionality! Students knocked it out of the pool🫧

NISD middle schoolers made a splash at the first annual Cardboard Boat Regatta! 🚣‍♀️Teams came together for an unforgettable challenge: design and build a boat using only cardboard boxes, then put it to the test to see how far it could go. 📰bit.ly/4s9omb7

🫧We love seeing our CTE teachers bring lessons to life with activites that are hands-on, collaborative and fun! 7th and 8th grade Principles of Engineering students across the district did a great job designing, building, racing and (sometimes) sinking their boats! 🛶 #CTEMonth

#CTEMonth: Federal funding for CTE began more than 100 years ago. Since then, federal & state CTE policy has evolved to support changing regional workforce needs, and provides students with academic, technical, and employability skills for high-demand, high-wage careers.

January interns of the month! Emma (IPET) who is at Roanoke and Mallory (Practicum) is at Beck. Both much deserved! Great students, interns, and all around great kids!

All day field trip for the interns today. Complete with Vday party fun and getting to see an old intern in her now student teaching role! Full circle moments are my fav!

Stock show season is rolling, and our students are off to a strong start! Despite icy conditions that made this year’s Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo especially challenging, nearly 90 students and FFA advisors showed up, stepped up and represented our district with excellence!

#CTEMonth 💗Happy Valentine's Day to CTE Teachers💗 Students ASPIRE, ADVANCE and ACHIEVE more because of our incredible CTE teachers! We appreciate all they do to prepare students with skills for life🌟 #IAmNISDCTE
