Evidence for my ePortfolio In 2006 when I promoted from classroom instructor to Career Training Program Manager, New Haven Adult School did not have an official Career & Technical Education program; it had nothing more than a single computer class that ran all year-around. With my business and planning skills, coupled with the guidance and assistance of our Profession Development Program Manager (Karen Barroso) I grew the programs to what you see here. http://eportfolio4mwalkerwade.wordpress.com/
