The LAPSEN National Conference
This will be the best LPS conference ever! LAPSEN is working hard to pack this conference with amazing sessions, networking and panels. This year several tracks are focused on improving instruction, programs and student opportunities.
Better Teaching
In our preconference sessions and across the conference, there will be a focus on improving instruction and pedagogy.
Better Programs
From programs in development to venerable programs that have been around a while, all will benefit from sessions on maximizing program potential.
National Law and Public Safety Career Connections Conference
A part of the conference will be focused on connecting agencies with educators to build the pipeline directing students toward careers. Currently there are over 100,000+ immediate openings in LPS agencies. Annually, an estimated 80,000+ new hires are needed in LPS to replace retirees and attrition. There are over 791,000+ students in high school and technical college LPS programs. Presently, there is no national link from that supply to the industry demand.
LAPSEN is looking to build the pipeline this November! We will have CTE administrators, WBL coordinators and LPS educators working with a variety of local, state and national LPS agencies to find ways to build the pipeline. There will be panels, working sessions and other brainstorming activities to begin this initiative.
Tracks
Agency Recruitment – Developing the Pipeline
Presentations, panels and brainstorming sessions focused on sharing best practices as well as collaboration on new potential initiatives. Work Based Learning coordinators from school systems will also participate.
Youth Preparation
Public Safety Cadets, Explorers Posts, and programs unique to departments will be present and have sessions. There will also be sessions on how to implement, grow, and improve such offerings. Some sessions in the education track would be appropriate for youth program advisors in improving designing content and activities at youth meetings.
Educational Programs
This track is the traditional LAPSEN national conference track. Sessions on high school and technical college programs, SkillsUSA, pathway design, teaching strategies and other content relevant to those working with students in educational settings. All pathways are invited to attend: law enforcement, fire, EMT, legal, forensics, drones, dispatch, corrections and security.
