Collaboration Series is a weekly blog post that will highlight implementation ideas of various NGPF resources, strategies to engage your students in a Zoom world, and other useful teacher tips shared by teachers in recent Virtual PD sessions. 

This week's Collaborate Board was created by a team of teachers at a Brush Up: Trade Schools, Apprenticeships, & Internships VPD. While college may be a popular option for many students after high school, it is not the only path! This VPD session brushes up content knowledge and explores resources about trade schools, apprenticeships, and internships. At the end of the session, teachers were asked: 

What is one action item you want to take after today's Virtual PD?

Top responses included: 

This Virtual PD (1.5 hours) - Brush Up On: Trade Schools, Apprenticeships, & Internships will be repeated on Thursday, December 3rd at 2pm PT/5pm ET.
