Value: Many CTE educators already use our curriculum and certification exam hosting to ensure the success of not just daily instruction but certification earning for their students. We provide affordable, scalable, measurable CTE curriculum that saves educators the time and cost of creating, finding, and/or curating various resources to support engaging lessons.

12 Set Up a ServSafe Food Handler's Success

Wednesday June 25, 2025 11:00am - 12:00pm EDT

Room 101 A

When CTE instructors are trying to get their students ready to complete the ServSafe Food Handler's certification a great deal of time can be lost trying to keep their students all on the same timeline and keeping students on track while they navigate the modules. Getting the students' accounts set up is only one of the first steps to administering the certification in a timely manner.

Understanding the useful tools of the ServSafe website and how to navigate it to help your students is a key factor in completing the certification. I would like to go over the website in depth to help instructors understand how to fully navigate the website. There is a lot of information and a step by step guide would help instructors know functions and how to use them. Anyone that is working with students in a food environment would benefit in having their students complete the ServSafe modules. I have been working in culinary arts for the past seven years teaching Foods for Today, Intro to Culinary, Culinary 1, Culinary 2, and Baking and Pastry classes. I have eleven years of teaching experience and seven of that have been teaching food safety using the ServSafe system. I am a professional trained chef with ten years experience in the industry on top of eleven years experience teaching K-12.

132 Understanding the SCDE's Laws, Regulations, and Policies for Accurate Student Records

Wednesday June 25, 2025 1:00pm - 2:00pm EDT

Room 101 A

CTE centers must follow the laws, regulations, and policies set forth by the General Assembly as it pertains to accurate student records and transcripts and are often not included in the district and school trainings I conduct.
