    Tazewell County CTE Brings Rubin into the Classroom

    Rubin Education’s book,Wait, How Do I Write This Email?, a collection of 100+ guides for networking the job search and LinkedIn, is an ideal fit for the classroom.

    The book helps students understand the best ways to communicate with employers and recruiters in the real world.

    That’s why we’re excited the Tazewell (Virginia) County Career and Technical Education Center will use the book in the 2017-2018 school year as part of its English curriculum.

    Students attend the school and learn a variety of skilled trades (ex: welding, carpentry). But administration also understand students need to write and network with employers to land a job in Tazewell or elsewhere.

    We hope to provide updates on the Tazewell pilot project throughout the year.

    We’re thankful for early academic partners as we continue to introduce the material to classrooms across the country.

    Future Farmers of America (FFA) Features Emerge Writing Techniques

    Rubin Education’s book, Wait, How Do I Write This Email?, is more than a useful writing guide for people who need to network or find a job. We hope the resource becomes an integral part of the way schools and organizations teach effective communication skills.

    That’s why this week the book scored a major victory. The educational team at Future Farmers of America (FFA), an “intercurricular student organization for those interested in agriculture and leadership,” elected to use two templates from the book in a lesson plan for FFA members. As well, the information will become a supplement in agribusiness and agriscience courses.

    The lesson plan instructs students to write an email that asks for a reference letter and then another email to thank the person for writing the reference letter (instructions on the reference letter here). In each instance, FFA includes our templates and then asks the students to practice their own e-mails based on my model.
