Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) are key components to strong CTE programs. CTSOs integrate into CTE programs and courses and extend teaching and learning through innovative programs, business and community partnerships and leadership experiences at the school, state and national levels. • CTSOs provide relevant, engaging programs that improve student achievement, reduce dropout rates and help students discover the wide range of career options available. • CTSOs engage the community and local businesses to help students understand global competition and chart effective and efficient pathways through high school and postsecondary education for their personal success. • CTSO programs, such as industry based competitive events and community service, provide students with the opportunity to develop 21st Century Skills focused on creativity, problem solving, teamwork and goal setting. • CTSOs bring relevance to the classroom and prepare students to be college and career ready.

  • Iowa Cheerleading Coaches' Association
    Iowa Cheerleading Coaches’ Association NEWSLETTER May 2014 Jeanne Ehn, Editor PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Cheer Coaches: Greetings to all of our Iowa cheer coaches. Hopefully, a lot of our Iowa cheer coaches were able to attend ICCA’s Cheer Coaches Conference. Many of you have voiced praise on how much you had learned at the conference. There were some awesome speakers who shared their knowledge and love of cheerlead- ing, wonderful vendors to greet you, and new friendships made over the weekend. To tell everyone a little about myself – I live in Callender, Iowa (just 20 miles south of Fort Dodge) with my husband Chuck and our twin 17-year-olds (Jacob and Jacey). We also have three older children (Amanda who is married and lives in Callender), (David who lives in Fort Dodge) and (Ashley who is married and lives in Fort Dodge). We also have one granddaughter Paisley who is 4 years old. I own a gym in Fort Dodge and pretty much work with cheerleading 24/7. Yes, sometimes it is overwhelming, but I LOVE it. I have coached cheerleading at Prairie Valley High School for the past 20 years. Recently our high school joined with Southeast Webster. We are now undertaking a whole new adventure with a new name (Southeast Valley Jaguars). Any coach who has gone through this process knows that it is a huge under- taking from mascots, new colors and yes – new uniforms! This will be quite a project to get accomplished in the next couple of weeks. Our colors completely changed from red and black to teal, black, and silver.
