7 Reasons to Hold TWO Induction Ceremonies This Year: |
It’s never too early to start inducting students! Consider having a fall AND spring induction ceremony. - More recognition for your school and program!
As educators, you know the value of repetition (especially when giving directions on an assignment). Promoting your program is the same! Having two induction ceremonies doubles your CTE program’s exposure within your school and community. Remember to send out those press releases after each induction ceremony. Your students and school get the recognition they deserve, and proud parents everywhere can clip those newspapers (or … screenshot those web articles!).
Spread out the workload, so you’re not overwhelmed.
We all know that spring is the busiest time in the education world – prom, senior events, regional CTSO conferences, end-of-year award ceremonies, exams, graduation, etc. By breaking up your ceremony into two smaller celebrations, you’ll have a more manageable list of inductees. In addition, the spring ceremony will be a breeze since you and your officers had plenty of time to practice and put on a fantastic fall induction beforehand! Read More...
