As we welcome the New Year, let’s pause to celebrate our accomplishments from the past year.

We appreciate your dedication and hard work! Together, let’s build on our successes and create even more opportunities for our students in 2025.

Here's to even greater accomplishments in 2025. 🎉

You may access the scholarship application here. We have a total of 81 scholarships to award to students who are a graduating senior or will be eligible to graduate before September 1, 2025!

These scholarships are related to aviation and especially drones!

It does say students need to have been a member of the Academy of Module Aeronautics for the past 36 months, but a lot of these funds go unused. Have students join AMA now and send it; see what happens!

This is a great scholarship that really helps the ag students financially in their schooling. If you have questions, please reach out to:

It’s no surprise that supportive conditions that foster staff well-being also positively impact retention rates.

If you’re looking to solve a staffing shortage in your school or district, be sure to engage with this fact sheet from REL Northwest, which highlights eight categories of working conditions to consider prioritizing as part of your recruitment and retention strategy.

Just a friendly reminder that the UCET Awards nominations deadline is coming up on Friday, January 31st. We need your Innovative Teacher awardees - these teachers will receive free attendance to the UCET Conference as well as a $100 Amazon card.

This month, we highlight the special population of leaners experiencing homelessness. Learners experiencing homelessness or McKinney-Vento were first defined as a special population in Perkins V, so states and local CTE leaders are in the early phases of implementing strategies to support this learner group.
