What will be asked of me as an advisory member?
- Attend three meetings a year;
- Review program goals & curriculum with a team of teachers;
- Evaluate instructional materials such as textbooks, equipment, and technology;
- Discuss current industry trends; and
- Connect teachers with resources to meet educational goals.
