Hi, I'm Gracen Sommerer, a Skilled and Technical Sciences Educator from Seward, NE.

The purpose of this portfolio is to demonstrate my development as a Skilled and Technical Sciences educator through the lens of the ACTE Quality CTE Program of Study Framework. This portfolio showcases my ability to design and deliver high-quality, standards-aligned instruction that engages students in real-world, hands-on learning. It includes evidence of curriculum planning, student engagement, and program improvement aligned with key elements such as standards integration, data-driven decision making, and career readiness. My goal is to prepare students for both workforce success and lifelong technical learning through a comprehensive and relevant STS education.
