SUMMARY:Engler Guide Conference
DESCRIPTION:An educator’s conference focused on teaching with a “Guiding” mindset. What happens when the Engler mission is applied to teachers? Is teaching much like entrepreneurship? Can the core concepts used in launching and running a business also apply to managing a classroom of students? \nTeaching is a purpose-driven profession. If you ask a teacher\, “Why do you teach?” be prepared to hear a heartfelt story that clearly conveys a passion for students. \nTeachers have the ability to change the trajectory of a student’s life simply by creating the right atmosphere for nurturing purpose. This is why Engler created a program for educators – Guide. \nAt Guide\, there is a track for first time Guides and a track for returning Guides. All educators are welcome\, so bring a friend! The cost to attend is $75 and this covers registration and meals. Hotel accommodations and travel expenses are not covered. You are able to use Perkins funding to help cover costs. To learn more about the conference and to register\, follow this link.

SUMMARY:Small Gas Engines Fundamentals
DESCRIPTION:ALEC 893 Short Course in Technical Agriculture: Small Gas Engines Fundamentals –This class will be nearly identical to the Briggs & Stratton Field school courses offered in previous years. Teachers will get the curriculum\, but not the textbook\, clear carb\, spark tester\, or meals. By offering this course as unaffiliated with Briggs & Stratton/Power Distributors\, we are able to reduce the cost of the class to $30. The class will include the entire Briggs syllabus as well as some additional training on their “antique L-Head engines. \nThis class will be nearly identical to the Briggs & Stratton field school with the exception that you will not get their giveaways (textbooks\, clear carbs\, feeler gages\, etc.) or meals. Which allows us to offer it for $30 instead of $600. \nJuly 17-19\, UNL-Panhandle Research\, Extension\, & Education Center\, Scottsbluff NE \nPlease reach out directly to Dr. Troy White if you have any questions about this ALEC 893 Short Course in Technical Agriculture.
