CareerTech Teacher : CareerTech for Life
Feb 17th
Former CareerTech Teacher turned Parly Coach
I believe that CareerTech is in my blood.
My father, my children, and I have all been actively involved in a CareerTech program while we each attended high school. Through my own involvement I learned skills and had the opportunity to participate in leadership and teamwork activities. These experiences provided a strong foundation for me as I later became a CareerTech teacher. Through the years I have had the opportunity to provide similar experiences for my own students and hopefully this will help to continue the impact of CareerTech for many years to come.

You can read more about this year’s Parly team on student blogger, Bianca’s blog. Patricia can answere all of your Parlimentary Procedure questions on Twitter @ParlyPro or find her on Facebook.
Preparing Me for the Career I WANT!

Our dishes we created for 2010 ProStart Competition
*Guest student blogger: Aaron Valles
Metro Tech is preparing me for the career I want. I am currently a second year, baker’s assistant in Culinary Arts. When I was a Sophomore in high school I was unsure about what career path to take.
I’ve always enjoyed food, airplanes and journalism. I eventually chose Culinary Arts at Metro Tech and started my Junior year in high school. I have loved it ever since.
Caramelized Stratford Peach Torte in Chocolate Cremoso Cone Served with Fredrick’s Peanut Brittle, Tempura Tulsa Wild Flowers and Strawberry Paint! It was yummers~ 
I’ve met great people at Metro Tech. The environment is welcoming and open to new ideas. In my experience, there is a fine line between teacher and student. As a second year student, I find myself teaching first year students what I know. It makes me excited to see the new faces “get it” just like I did the year before.
I have been promoted to a manager status on occasion, making sure everyone is in their place and the kitchen runs smoothly, creating exquisite dishes. There is a time for play and a time to work. Our instructors know how to have fun while teaching, making my experience even more rewarding.
I love to be in the kitchen, tasting our creations and experiencing new flavors. I’m happy about the choice I made to come to Metro Tech while I finished high school. I plan to continue my education after Metro Tech and become the BEST CHEF in Oklahoma!
Yes, I met Cat Cora !

SBC Students Play Santa
Dec 16th
Students from South Bryant Campus
Students at South Bryant Campus enjoyed playing Santa by stuffing 100 stockings for the Central Oklahoma American Red Cross.
The Red Cross provided the 12 inch net stockings that will be distributed to children through the Oklahoma City area. Students, teachers and staff generously donated gifts and money. The stockings overflowed with a wide range of toys, snacks, hats, stickers, candy, crayons, coloring books, and games for both girls and boys. On December 10th the students presented the stockings to American Red Cross representative, Ms. Melanie.
The students thanked Mrs. Cagigal of the Academic Center for allowing them this opportunity and commented that it made them feel good to participate in the project. The students said that the children would be excited when they saw the goodies that the stockings included. They can imagine the smiles that the stockings will bring.

WELCOME METRO TECH STUDENT BLOGGERS!!!
Oct 18th
Woo hoo!!! Metro Tech now has student bloggers. Instructors from the various Metro Tech campuses were asked to pick student bloggers to cover events and success stories for their sites. These students will serve as reporters for their Career and Technology Student Organizations. (CTSO) On Friday October 15th, the students met with Bonnie James and myself for blog training. Bonnie did a wonderful job organizing this effort. The bloggers learned how to set up their profiles, post a blog, insert images, media, and hyperlinks, add tags, blogging etiquette, and what their expectations as Metro Tech bloggers are.
