New & Newer Teacher Pre-conference Workshop
Thursday September 12
This New & Newer Teacher Pre-conference Workshop is intended for those new to teaching and new to the CTE classroom. Please note that it costs extra to attend the strongly encouraged New & Newer Teacher Pre-conference Workshop on Thursday September 12. Dynamic presenters will deliver critical information about all-aspects of CTE. This workshop will focus on working with special populations, forming advisory committees, leading CTSOs, recruiting students, understanding the role of work-based learning, internships, safety in the classroom, and much more. Workplace Specialist 1 teachers who attend the Thursday September 12 New & Newer Teacher Pre-conference Workshop will be offered more autonomy at the required Indiana ACTE Conference on Friday September 13 and Saturday September 14, which all Workplace Specialist 1 teachers are required to attend. Specifically, those who attend the Thursday workshop will only need to attend the Workplace Specialist 1 General Information Session on Friday morning. Other than this required session, teachers that attend New & Newer Teacher Pre-conference Workshop on Thursday will be free to select conference sessions on Friday September 13 and Saturday September 14 that closely align with their occupational areas, because they will have already been exposed to important concepts on Thursday. Many Workplace Specialist 1 teachers will likely appreciate this additional flexibility.

Time Commitment
The training is not extremely time consuming unless one procrastinates and allows work to back-up. It can very quickly become overwhelming. All sessions are required, so if one of the first two live sessions is missed, additional work will be assigned in addition to completing the regular assigned work for each session.
TABE (Test of Adult Basic Education) Requirements
Workplace Specialist I teachers will be required to personally pay for and complete the following TABE exams at an approved testing center and earn a proficient scale score on all three exams The proficient scale scores for all three exams are listed below. To locate an approved testing center, please contact the area CTE Director in your CTE district. To find the contact information for the area CTE Director in your CTE district, please visit this website: http://www.iacted.org/index.php/directors Please politely ask the area CTE Director if the TABE is offered as part of the adult education program in the district and if you may take the exam at their testing facility and what the cost to you will be. If the TABE is not offered in your district, ask the permission of the area CTE Director to contact neighboring CTE districts on this website http://www.iacted.org/index.php/directors to inquire about the possibility of paying to take the TABE at one of their testing facilities.
Workplace Specialist I teachers may attempt the TABE exam as many times as needed during the training period until a proficient scale score is earned on all three exams. Teachers are encouraged to seek remediation via their career center and/or adult education center in areas of deficiency before future TABE exam attempts.
The testing center must provide the Workplace Specialist I teacher with evidence of TABE exam completion listing the scale score. This evidence will be scanned, converted to a PDF file, and uploaded into the Canvas learning management system used by Ball State University during the Workplace Specialist I training program.
For Workplace Specialist I teachers who are unable to earn a proficient scale score on the TABE exam after multiple attempts, they must personally pay for and complete a university course in each area of deficiency and earn a B or higher. IDOE approved courses are listed below:
University Courses to Satisfy TABE Requirements
NOTE: Regardless of prior academic transcripts that may list the following Math, Reading, and Language coursework, all Workplace Specialist I teachers must still successfully complete the TABE requirements because the DOE needs an official record of each teacher’s current level of proficiency. If after multiple TABE attempts, the teacher is still deficient in one or more of the content areas, the teacher may complete the following university courses in each area of TABE deficiency and earn a B or higher. Teachers may upload university transcripts to LVIS at time of Workplace Specialist II conversion to verify the courses completed and grade earned.
