Welcome to 2024! A new year means a new opportunity to focus on your students. In this episode, we sat down with CERTIFIED Ambassador, Jessie Kalloo, to talk about how to engage students in your classroom and beyond. 

Jessie Kalloo is a CTE Instructor and Program Approval Coordinator for the Information Technology programs at Thomas A. Edison Career and Technical Education High School located in Jamaica, Queens, New York. Jessie is also a Cisco Networking Academy Instructor Trainer for IT Essentials, CCNA, CCNA Security, and CCNA CyberOps covering areas throughout the United States. Being a product of CTE as a graduate of Thomas Edison High has provided him the opportunity to view teaching through a different lens. Through the various partnerships he has formed with the industry he is able to inspire, motivate and provide opportunities to his students that truly help them prepare for their future. The training he has done in and out of the classroom combined with his unique approach to teaching, has allowed for creative ways to spark the curiosity in students, helping them continuously challenge themselves to do better.

Together with Jessie, we talked about creating an engaged culture in your classroom, and practical approaches for how to keep your students engaged. Jessie even shares how he flips the classroom and allows his students to become the teachers.
