From Words on the Walls to Behavior in the Halls

Wednesday October 7, 2026 11:15am - 12:15pm PDT

Colorado Ballroom

Many CTE organizations proudly display their values — but far fewer have defined what those values look like in daily practice. When expectations remain undefined, leadership lacks consistency and culture relies more on individual interpretation than shared standards.

This session explores a practical approach to translating organizational values into observable behaviors that clarify expectations for staff and leaders. Using a real-world example from a CTE institution’s Standards of Excellence initiative, participants will examine how defining behavior-based standards strengthens onboarding, coaching conversations and performance alignment.

Through guided reflection and a structured behavior-mapping activity, attendees will draft one behavior-based standard and identify a practical first step for implementation in their own setting.

Participants will receive a Behavior Mapping Worksheet and a simple framework to continue the work beyond the session.
