Exciting News for Glenwood Middle and High School Students
We’re excited to announce the incorporation of Transfr virtual reality software into our Career & Technical Education and School counseling programs! 🎉 This innovative program is building classroom-to-career pathways, giving students hands-on experience with training simulators like monitoring vital signs (heart rate) and exploring comparisons between human and animal biology—a fascinating opportunity for our secondary students, Transfr, also used for workplace development, has hundreds of trainings and vocations in their library for GCSD students.
Recently high school advanced agriculture students Clara Lundvall and Joli Johnston were able to dive into both career exploration and specific trainings such as: skills with becoming a Solar Technician, where they practiced installing solar panels! The students also can use training simulators such as checking vital signs, where the students compare those between animals and a human.
At GCSD we are always aiming to equip our students with the skills they need for the industries of the future. 🚀
