Valley City (VCSU) Peder Gjovik ’77 and Katie Hatt M.Ed. ’16 won national awards at the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) national conference, CareerTech VISION 2018, in San Antonio, Texas, on November 28.
Gjovik, associate professor and chair of the VCSU Department of Technology, was named ACTE 2019 Teacher Educator of the Year. Hatt, health careers instructor in the Grand Forks (N.D.) Public Schools and the Grand Forks Area Career and Technology Center, was named ACTE 2019 New Teacher of the Year.
The Teacher Educator of the Year award recognizes teacher educators who have demonstrated innovation in teacher education, leadership in improving Career and Technical Education (CTE) and commitment to preparing teachers to deliver high-quality CTE programs.
Gjovik’s recent work includes helping establish accelerated pathways to bachelor’s degrees and teaching credentials for graduates of North Dakota two-year colleges who hold technical-specialty degrees. He is currently involved in development of an online course to fulfill student-teaching requirements for distance technical-education candidates.
Dan White, Finance Director of Moody’s Analytics, said a national recession expected to occur by 2020 would cause the demand for oil and agriculture to decrease.
White believes that North Dakota would benefit from a weaker U.S. labor market because more workers would seek opportunities in the state. He added that economists believe the recession will be relatively mild.
