Members of the Missouri Association for Career & Technical Education are in town through Thursday for the organization’s annual conference and trade show, held at University Plaza Hotel & Convention Center and the Springfield Expo Center, according to the Springfield Convention & Visitors Bureau.
This marks the 20th year that the group has convened in Springfield.
Under a theme of “Rigor & Relevance,” keynote speaker Harry K. Wong will discuss teaching methods that have resulted in his having a 0 percent dropout rate, a 95 percent homework-turn-in rate and no discipline problems. Wong has 33 years of classroom experience.
Members of the organization are either employed in vocational education, are students in post-secondary institutions who are interested in promoting vocational education, or are retired from the sector.
