Career Based Intervention Program Designated Exemplary by State

Don Berry and Brian Stetler earn Exemplary rating

Tri Star's Career Based Intervention (CBI) program, taught by Don Berry and Brian Stetler, was recently awarded an "Exemplary" rating following a Quality Standards Review. Dee Sturgill, a Career Technical consultant to the Ohio Department of Education, spent over two hours evaluating:
teachers' lesson plans and how they relate to the technical content standards
Career Technical Student Organizations
documentation of advisory committee meetings
documentation of assessments
program promotion
teacher-parent interaction
stakeholder interaction


The review puts Tri Star's program in the category of one of the best in the state. Congratulations to Mr. Berry and Mr. Stetler for their hard work.
