Candidate: _William Foster_________________ Campus Mentor_ Mike Brown___________ University Supervisor: __Paul Brinson___________ School: _Banks County High School__ Year: __2022____
Time of Activity: Varies Objective: To prepare for federal grant funding through collection, analysis, and distribution of data. LKES Met: Description of Task: I worked all semester to collect data from multiple sources in order to prepare our application for federal funding of our CTAE department. I worked to identify needs through data collection and stakeholder conversations that I used to formulate our Perkins application.
Time of Reflection: 8:30pm Goal: I reflect on the processes taking to prepare the application and see if these processes were the most effective and applicable. Level of Involvement: As CTAE Director, it is my responsibility to fulfill these grant requirements and submit the correct documentation on time and as requested. I have written the entire application and compiled all the data references from multiple sources. What I Learned: I learned that this application requires long term and in-depth planning. It also requires me to be involved in the local community to get the information required for the documentation. I learned that different stakeholders have different agendas and it is important to identify their agendas seek diverse opinions to make sure the application is filled out as effectively as possible and in ways that will impact students positively the most. Strengths and/or Challenges: I have made good community connections over the past several years and was able to leverage those connections for stakeholder input for this process. I am new to this position and this application, so everything has been a learning experience. Response of Others: Everyone is willing to provide input and seems happy to be listened to.

School and county administration has seemed grateful for my work in
this area and seem pleased with the results. Benefits/Contributions: Local business owners and stakeholders have provided important input through conversations, surveys, and local workforce data. CTAE teachers at the high school have given me information about their pathways at it pertains to the application. County office staff have given me guidance when I have asked. Further Efforts: My application is still incomplete and I will continue to hold stakeholder meeting for input until the end of the school year. Next year I will work to budget the funds we receive as I said I would in the application.
