Daniel Autry

I began teaching four years ago, in a small district outside of Maryville, MO.  There, I learned many elements of business education and assisting young men and women in finding "their path forward".  It has been rewarding as an experience for me and I find that my love for teaching and serving these students grows each year!  I am very excited to be closer to home now, and in a district where I know more of the community members.  Prior to teaching, I was a business person.  I owned a couple of businesses, assisted others in the development of their businesses, and dealt in legal practices, bookkeeping, marketing, sales, and many more elements of the business world.  I feel this uniquely qualifies me for effectively teaching the youth of today and I look forward with great eagerness toward doing so.

One of the groups I will be heading up is the CTSO of BPA (Business Professionals of America).  Their mission seems to reflect what I expect in each of the classes I will be offering: to develop and empower student leaders to discover their passion and change the world by creating unmatched opportunities in learning, professional growth and service.  This will be reinforced in the classroom through integrating technologies that are relevant in the world today and in the future, guiding students through critical thinking exercises and appropriate group engagement, and extending praise wherever possible for the efforts put into the work assigned.  Communications and progress will be monitored and updated through various social media platforms including Facebook and Instagram.  Google Sites is also sure to be utilized.

Stephanie Langner

Stephanie Langner has taught Family and Consumer Sciences courses for 15 years in Nebraska, Kansas and now in Iowa. FCS can look a little different from state to state and school to school, so she has taught a wide variety of courses that all focus on life skills in the areas of personal development, health and wellness, parenting and child development, families and relationships, design in housing and clothing, and cooking and culinary arts. These skills can be transferred to a variety of career paths as well as the life skills of balancing work and family.

Jay Sweet

Jay Sweet has been a teacher with the Shenandoah Community School District since 2006. I have been teaching for  31 years.

Expand into the middle school to  offer Industrial Tech  through a summer camp.

Offer new CNC  training  on routers. and laser engravers  and hopefully  a new CNC laser cutter for Metals.

It is very rewarding  to see students from years ago to present become successful. Some  are wealthy independent business owners, and some are skilled laborers. What ever  path they choose, a CTE career choice will  take very good care of them.
