| Ambulatory Classroom Dispatched to JTED EMTs | |
A 1995 Ford box-style ambulance with more than 391,000 miles used by Southwest Ambulance Emergency Medical Technicians to transport thousands of patients over the years has a new role in the race to save lives.
Southwest Ambulance, a Rural/Metro company, donated the vehicle worth an estimated $12,000 to JTED's EMT program. With the exception of the donor's two-way radio, all of the lights, sirens, and equipment are intact.
"Having the ambulance allows us to provide real-world training for what EMT's do every day," says JTED EMT Instructor Michelle Watson. "Our students will learn to treat patients in the confines of an ambulance in motion."
Watson, an EMT with Southwest Ambulance for nine years, says the company has been generous, donating supplies and loaning equipment to help Pima County JTED's EMT program provide a premier experience for students. In addition to becoming EMTs, the course is a gateway for many to enter the medical profession as patient care technicians, paramedics, nurses, and/or doctors.
According to the company's website, Southwest Ambulance is Arizona's largest 9-1-1 emergency and non-emergency ambulance transportation provider serving more than 40 communities.

JTED Programs Collaborate to Create Riveting Works of Art
| |
 Capture the style of Rosie the Riveter on J. Howard Miller's iconic 1943 wartime propaganda poster? JTED students say, "We can do it!"
Pima County JTED Assistant Director of Central Campuses Kathleen Koppy had an idea that students enrolled in the photography program at Tucson Magnet High School could collaborate on a project with advanced students enrolled in Cutting Class, JTED's Academy of Cosmetology at Camino Seco.
JTED/CTE photography teacher Kyle Arthur brought nine of his students to photograph the hair and makeup work of approximately 40 Cosmetology students from Kathleen Asman and Wanda Becker's classes. The students created inspiration boards and selected a vintage theme.
JTED Cosmetology student Izette Maldonado did classmate Mishelle Vanover's hair and makeup to capture the look of Michigan factory worker Geraldine Hoff, aka Rosie. The photographer is Arthur's student Marissa Alejandre.

JTED's José Bernal Honored

The Arizona Agriculture Teachers Association (AATA) selected Pima County JTED's Agriscience and Veterinary Assistant teacher José Bernal as the South Central District Teacher of the Year.
Bernal, who taught at Amphitheater High School for 34 years and has taught at JTED for two years, was presented the award this summer at the AATA banquet.
"Being honored by our peers is a worthwhile recognition," Bernal said. "I am truly honored. Teachers don't win awards, we accept and celebrate recognition earned only through our student's accomplishments."

BioScience Spotlight
|
Students in BioScience classrooms throughout Pima County are not only making amazing discoveries about our world, but also about their abilities to conduct scientific research.
At Pueblo Magnet High School, students are working with local firms to gain industry specific education opportunities with Dr. Andrew Lettes' Biotech Pipeline. At Sunnyside High School, Steve Uyeda (photo) is involving JTED students in client projects that aid University of Arizona research and non-profit organizations such as Native Seeds Search. At Catalina Foothills High School, JTED Career and Technical Education and Advanced Placement BioScience classes have combined into a hybrid model offering students the best academic opportunities of both programs.
JTED/CTE BioScience programs each have unique qualities that are shaping our students, our community, and our economy. Look for in-depth stories on these programs in the upcoming fall issue of the Pima County JTED Annual Report, The Calling.
