Their Career Technical Education program includes Custodial Services and Building Maintenance, Animal Care and Veterinary Services, Campus Staff Assistant, Certified Nursing Assistant, Instructional Assistant SPED, Class A and Class B License, and Culinary Arts.
Key Accomplishments
With the support of their dedicated coach, leadership development training, and coursework for digital implementation strategies, the LBAS team was able to do the following:
- In-Class Digital Literacy Workshops for ESL Students: To better support our ESL students, LBSA has integrated modified digital literacy lessons directly into all ESL classes and at our offsite locations.
- Launched a 4-Part Chromebook & Technology Workshop: To help students build essential digital skills for those new to Chromebooks, those needing a refresher on basic technology, or tech-savvy ESL students who do not know English technology vocabulary.
