SISD Transition Coordinator Mitch Wheatcraft held the first Tri-County Collaboration Meeting yesterday at Millet Learning Center with Transition Coordinators Jenille Kent (Bay Arenac ISD) and Jennifer Coston (Midland ESA). Over 20 secondary special education teachers from Saginaw, Bay, and Midland spent the day discussing resources, curriculum, technology, and areas for future collaboration. It was an excellent day of learning and collaboration! #SaginawISD
Saginaw County's newest CTE program, Hospitality, and Tourism Management, has been learning firsthand from leaders in the Frankenmuth community. Martha Zehnder Kaczynski, Vice President of Bavarian Inn Lodge, shares her expertise on the cultural differences of guests and how positive guest interactions are the foundation of a solid business.
Students practiced these skills by welcoming and interacting with guests at the Covenant Retirees Luncheon. Eric Fielbrandt, owner of Frankenmuth FunShips, shared how attraction management is a year-round responsibility. Students hopped aboard a FunShip, covering marketing to maintenance. Students then created their own event for the FunShips!
Exciting CTE learning opportunities happen thanks to wonderful business partnerships like these!
