FATDEC is a group of public schools, school districts, and community colleges working together to deliver curriculum in a web-based environment for adult education and career technical programs in Florida’s postsecondary public institutions.
The online courses offered are very beneficial for adult learners as they have 24/7 access to the program – allowing them to customize their schedule – and many of the courses are free of charge!
FATDEC recently announced that Nancy Marsh, from Pasco County, has been elected as president-elect for 2010-2011. She will assist William Kelly (from Escambia County), FATDEC’s current president, and will then transition to the role of president for 2011-2012.
Some of the initiatives Nancy will be working on include:
- Expanding services
- Increasing learning opportunities
- Growing membership
- Continuing partnerships with ACE of Florida, Florida Virtual School, Florida TechNet, and the Florida Association for Career and Technical Educators
- Expanding partnerships
