Advisor Tips for a Thriving Chapter
Remember: We’ve extended all 2020 graduates’ NTHS benefits out for another year past their graduation dates!
Your graduates can still log in to utilize their online benefits, request letters of recommendation, or apply for our Jon H. Poteat Scholarship, which just reopened on September 1st.
You and your students may still see 2020 grad dates shown as 2021 in the system, and this is OK. This allows our members to access benefits for an additional year.
What other resources would be most beneficial to you and your members? Please email Carol Kaczmarek, and let us know how we can help you have a successful NTHS chapter!

The census provides critical data used to provide daily services, products, and support for you and your community. Every year, billions of dollars in federal funding go to hospitals, fire departments, schools, roads, and other resources based on census data... That means your community's school funding, educational resources, learning facilities, and academic and cultural programs are all going to benefit from simply making sure you're counted!
3 Keys to a Better 2020-21
Ever wonder what your students need the most right now, regardless of their age or how the school year is panning out? In a Baylor University study, education leaders from 112 schools across the world met in virtual communities for the past few months to identify what is most important in education, regardless of the delivery method by which it's given.

High Quality CTE: Planning for a COVID-19 Impacted School Year
Whether your classes have been delayed, and you're still waiting to start your school year, or if you've been teaching for weeks now, make sure you've spent some time reading the fantastic resource our partners at the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) released over the summer.
"Whether schools and postsecondary institutions will be able to open fully for the 2020-21 school year using social distancing methods, utilize a blended approach or continue with remote learning, there are significant implications for CTE programs, students and educators."
"High-quality CTE: Planning for a COVID-19-impacted School Year is a guide for helping CTE stakeholders identify the key considerations, guiding questions and emerging best practices that should shape future planning. The guide is organized around the elements of ACTE’s Quality CTE Program of Study Framework to capture the breadth of issues important to maintaining CTE program quality within any of the possible educational environments being considered for the new school year."
You can access the full guide on ACTE's website, and make sure to sign up for the accompanying recorded webinar series as well!
