THEME: This year’s Summit centers on a deceptively simple yet profoundly impactful theme: Listening.

In a noisy world, listening is not passive - it’s an intentional act of leadership. Turn down the volume and tune in to the voices that matter most—the people we serve. Together, let’s amplify the power of listening to transform education, strengthen communities, and shape a more connected future for career and technical education in Minnesota.

Why listening, and why now?
  • The pace of change continues to accelerate. To adapt and innovate effectively, we must listen closely to the needs, challenges, and aspirations of those we serve.
  • The most impactful solutions often come from those closest to the problems. Listening amplifies voices that have too often been marginalized and overlooked.
  • Data speaks volumes - if we’re attuned to hear it. Sharpening our listening skills helps us glean actionable insights from the wealth of information at our fingertips.

Teacher Externships: A key to reaching more students with effective pathways programming

Teachers have a great influence on the decisions students make about their futures, from the courses they select to college and career decisions. Yet, many educators are using outdated paradigms of the opportunities and requirements for the new economy in which we live. Teacher externships expose teachers to in-demand, high wage career options and the skills needed for success while building relationships with local employers. The knowledge and networking gained through an exciting summer externship is one of the best ways to motivate staff (and employers!) and prepare more of your students with avenues for success after high school.

This is a practical session that encourages interaction, sharing of ideas and knowledge. You will learn what a teacher externship is, how it can inspire teachers and local employers to collaborate on career readiness programming in both core and CTE classrooms and provide your pathways programming at scale.

Session Objectives:
Discover how externships can help connect more students to employers and pathways programming
Gain a framework, tools and templates you can apply to your teacher externship program
Learn strategies for connecting and communicating with employers and teachers
Be inspired and prepared to create your own awesome summer teacher externship program!
