CRTC Snapshots:







Harbor Freight Tools Donates Tool Kits To Auto Program


CRTC Automotive Technology Year II students are able to engage in hands-on lessons in Ohm’s Law from home thanks to the generous donation of electrical boards and toolkits from Harbor Freight Tools. Auto Tech teacher Scott Mayotte, who is a Harbor Freight advisor teacher, said that the toolkits allowed students to continue with experiential learning while the CRTC went fully remote for the first two weeks of January.


“Thank you so much for the wonderful gift,” said Lisa English, who’s son, Alden, is a senior in the Automotive program. “It helps to make their virtual lessons truly hands on!”

Classroom Technology Upgrades Improve Remote Learning Experience


Construction Trades teacher John Hubbard is one of the CRTC teachers testing out a new remote learning camera and audio set up called Aver 520C Pro, which helps to provide increased functionality and produce high definition picture and sound for online lessons.

 

This technology is meant to supplement the Swivl robotic mount camera and audio system (currently in use in several CRTC classrooms), which is designed to automatically track a moving teacher and capture quality audio through multiple devices strategically placed throughout the classroom. Both systems work with Zoom, MS Teams and Google Meet, and can help teachers to build a library of quality video lessons to support remote and on-demand learning.

Emergency Services II Students Complete EMT Training at Granite State EMS

CRTC Emergency Services II students Stephanie Dodson (CHS), Bridget Morrill (MV) and Shannon Tyrrell (CHS) have successfully completed the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) training program at Granite State EMS, a statewide emergency medical education provider based in Concord.

 

All three students also completed the NH EMT Psychomotor Examination, passing all skills competencies on the first attempt, said Eric Perry, president and director of education at Granite State EMS. The next step toward certification is the National Registry EMT cognitive exam, which is the knowledge portion of the certification process. Once students are certified, they become eligible to hire, after which they can become licensed to practice.

 

“We are exceptionally proud of these students and greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with these fine young adults,” said Mr. Perry.

  Meeting the COVID Challenge: CRTC Automotive Technology COVID-19 has changed our lives in ways unimaginable just 11 months ago. And as we navigate this new reality, the students, teachers and staff at the Concord Regional Technical Center have been stepping up and sorting out the changes and challenges of providing a hands-on, career-focused education in the midst of a hands-off educational environment. Automotive Technology teachers Scott Mayotte and Jesse Gregoire have had a mix of online and in-person students in their classrooms and shops much of this school year, and have been aggressively using technology to bridge the two. “Technology and flexibility are the keys,” said Mr. Mayotte, who has been teaching the Automotive Technology program for the past seven years. “Dealing with multiple sending schools, we can have part or all of our class logging in remotely at any time, so we have to be prepared to transition quickly from live to remote, or to do both simultaneously.” When th

  Meet Our Teachers:  Gail Beaudoin, Criminal Justice CRTC programs are a blend of rigorous academics and applied learning that provide students with the opportunity to explore their interests, talents and career ambitions. The lynchpin in these programs is the unique character of the CRTC teacher, who typically has years of industry experience before making the transition to the classroom.  The CRTC Criminal Justice teacher, Gail Beaudoin, has over three decades of law enforcement experience, including 11 years as a Criminal Bureau detective, and was the first female in the Chelmsford, MA, Police Department to attain the rank of Lieutenant. She holds a master’s degree in Criminal Justice from UMass, and spent 15 years as an adjunct professor in Criminal Justice at UMass, Lowell. Learn a little more about our Criminal Justice teacher by reading this month’s CRTC Teacher Q & A . How long have you been a Career and Technical Education teacher?

  April is Admissions Month at CRTC Over the past several weeks CRTC staff has had to make some pretty tough decisions as they’ve sifted through applications to determine the make up September’s Year I classes, and have carefully reviewed each first year student’s SPUR assessments to decide who would be invited back to complete their second year. Year I students and new applicants already should have received notification letters or emails that inform them of their status and provide instructions for next steps. Any student who has not yet received notification should talk to their CRTC teacher or call the CRTC office. Each year we have more qualified students than we have open seats in our programs, so it’s necessary to make some difficult decisions. Some students who are not outright accepted or invited back have been placed on a waitlist for any available openings before the next school year, or have been asked to sign a conditional contract, which outlines a number of steps student
