📢 Exciting news! The Teacher Bootcamp application round is officially open! Teacher Bootcamps are an incredible opportunity for Ohio's dedicated teachers to gain exposure and expertise in critical industry sectors such as Broadband and 5G, and Advanced Manufacturing. By immersing our teachers in these cutting-edge fields, we are enhancing our education system to better equip our students with the skills they need to thrive in the workforce. Now, more than ever, the need for teachers who understand and can teach these emerging technologies is paramount. The rapid advancement of digital networks, the ever-evolving EV sector, and the continued growth of the tech industry require educators who can bridge the gap between theory and practice. By participating in the Teacher Bootcamp, educators will receive intensive training, hands-on experience, and exposure to real-world applications within these industry sectors. This transformative experience will enable them to bring relevant, up-to-date knowledge and skills back to their classrooms, inspiring and preparing our next generation for the jobs of tomorrow. #TeacherBootcamp #EducationTransformation #WorkforceDevelopment #OhioInnovation #PreparingStudents

Middle School, Middle Level- these are the people who guide the boys who have to jump as high as they can on every doorway. The girls who are figuring out what to carry in their purse. The ones who call eveyone “bruh” and “bro” every day and as generically as possible. The ones who will -probably- work for a single Starburst, or any type of food… The ones who still need recess every day even if the school doesn’t schedule it, because kinetic energy is still all over the place… when they act awake after 9am. The ones who can change the smell of a room in 3.5 seconds. The ones who are too cool and are too silly- within five minutes and back again. The ones who sometimes have the self-control of a gnat, and then have startlingly profound awareness. The ones who are both mean and kind on the same day. The ones whose brains are neuro-organizing all the files in new places and they forget everything and all their stuff. The ones whose energy could power the world, just like Monsters Inc. The ones who take a special kind of teacher to *get* them. They’re not just smaller high schoolers. Hats 🎩 Off to the Middle Level Educators.
