Hey y'all!

1.  My name is Beth Washak
2.  I am the Master Health Sciences Teacher at Oregon Charter Academy (ORCA)
3.  I absolutely love seeing that moment when a complex concept "clicks" for a student. Such a great moment. Also, I have a high appreciation for the level of collaboration between peers in the teaching profession, not all professions are like that.

Hi, 

I'm Janci Sivey and I teach Healthcare at Hermiston High School. 

We offer 4 levels of HC classes. 

My favorite thing about teaching HC is that even if they don't plan on going into the medical field, they are still learning valuable lessons that might one day save someones life or their own.

Welcome, Janci!  Welcome to the forum!  Such valuable lessons CTE teachers provide their students - thank you :)

3. I love to share all the different pathways with students. It's not all doctors and nurses! That is just one small sector of health science careers. I also always share that this is my 3rd career so that they know it's okay to change their minds!
