Rubin Leads District-Wide CTE Training in Philadelphia

It was nothing but (brotherly) love on Tuesday, August 19 in Philadelphia.

That’s because the Rubin team attended a back-to-school CTE training day at Kensington High School in downtown Philly to train teachers on our Emerge curriculum for employability skills.

The training, which occurred in the school cafeteria, was fast paced and energetic. Teachers dove into our instruction — which integrates to Google Classroom — and popped up to ask questions and shout out activities they liked (How to not send an email like a text message).

We also had the chance to speak with Superintendent Dr. Tony B. Watlington, Sr. and explain the Rubin resources his teachers will use in the 25-26 academic year.

We are grateful and excited to roll out Emerge across The School District of Philadelphia. Below are photos and videos from the day.

Wanack relied on Rubin when she taught in Virginia Beach City Public Schools in Virginia. As soon as she landed in Texas, the Rubin posters and employability skills products returned.
