"Where Learning Comes Alive"
Shelley Bailey, CTE Coordinator
Shelley began her business teaching career in 1989 in St. Mary s County, Md. She moved to Corning in 1996 and began teaching business at Southside High School in 1999. She has served as the CTE Coordinator since 2002.
Since 2002, CTE has undergone and continues to undergo significant improvements:
- We have fully established Project Lead the Way programs in both the middle and high schools, including state-of-the-art equipment and teachers who participate in annually training opportunities.
- We have a New York State-approved Sales, Marketing and Retailing training (SMART) program in our business departments.
- Hundreds of students take advantage of work-based learning (job shadows and internships) opportunities in the middle and high schools each year.
- We have just added a business teacher in the middle schools to enhance technology skills and computer instruction for students prior to entering high school.
- Our elementary school students are exposed to numerous career speakers and participate in career development activities annually.
- Furthermore, we have formed multiple partnerships with local business and industry groups including the Chemung County Chamber of Commerce, Southern Tier Economic Growth, CSS Workforce NY, the New York State Department of Labor, Corning Community College, Central Southern Tier Career Pathways Network, the Elmira Rotary Club and WETM-Channel 18.
