JABC Educator Advisors 2020-2021
Thank you to our Educator Advisors from across the province who give us important feedback on our program content, delivery methods, volunteer involvement and resources. We appreciate your support of JABC.
“JABC is dedicated to helping students understand that they have the power to shape their own lives. By connecting to local business people and entrepreneurs they learn that life is not a straight line that you have to walk alone. Educators and mentors are there to help students stretch and grow their view of themselves and to give them the tools to be brave in an ever changing world.”
“JABC creates opportunities for students to discover curiosities, values, and skills through community mentorship and innovative inquiry.”
“I appreciate the many valuable opportunities and experiences that JABC provides to students. Events such as TechWorks, that show students how multi-faceted a career in technology can be to guest speakers that share their knowledge and expertise with students. These opportunities enrich the learning environment and help students to make choices for the future.”
“JA designs their programs to help students learn real-life, practical skills such as finance, leadership and owning your own business. Their programs are age appropriate and designed with experts in the field to help support students with relevant career-life education! Thank you JA!”
“As a classroom business and career educator, I have used JA programs for 25 years because they keep updating their resources to make them relevant to present day student needs in preparation for their future. JABC staff is supportive, and their resources provide excellent teacher guides that are easy to use. The resources are designed to maximize student engagement while learning.”
“I really like how JABC connects the students with members of our community and makes the information more “real”. I think of the expression ‘It takes a village to raise a child’ and believe that hearing advice from an array of individuals enhances their understanding and makes it more meaningful. Also, I have found the booking process seamless, as the organizers have been able to accommodate my scheduling needs every year which makes planning much easier.”
“As a Business Education Teacher, I love how the JA programs and resources are current, relevant, and easy to follow or adapt. Their extensive network of local experts helps me to create wonderful connections to business leaders in my community and provides students with practical, meaningful, and real-life skills and experiences. JABC is professional, relevant, and has a wide range of programs – making it a must-have for every Business Education program!”
