Gladeo Offers “Not All Role Models Are the Same” Workshop at the Educating for Careers Conference

Success in Sacramento! This past Sunday, Gladeo attended the Educating for Careers Conference, held at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center, to offer our exciting workshop “Not all Role Models are the Same.”


During the session, we discussed the three vital personality traits that a role model must have to be effective when dealing with students from underrepresented backgrounds. We also reviewed insightful research findings from two studies showing the best ways to utilize such role models to raise student self-expectations and self-efficacy.


The workshop went very well, and we can’t wait to visit the conference again next year!


The Educating for Careers Conference is “an annual three-day professional development event surrounding career technical education (CTE). A variety of delivery systems, strategies, and Industry Sectors throughout the CTE system are represented in the more than 200 sessions offered over the course of this three-day conference.”
