Episode 15: Cameron Brown. Education is NOT a competitive sport! Schools should work together to provide CTE programs..

Small, rural districts often don't have the resources available to offer the same number of academic/CTE programs as some of their neighboring districts do. Join Cameron and me as we discuss his idea, that students should be able to enroll in neighboring schools to chase their passions!

Cameron Brown is currently a senior at Western Kentucky University and a student teacher at Barren County High School. Initially attending WKU to obtain a degree in sports broadcasting and journalism, Brown quickly realized that this was not the career path for him. For four years, Brown—a 2017 graduate of Webster County High School—served as the sportswriter for the Journal-Enterprise in Webster County and also helped cover Trojan sports on the radio for his alma mater. During this time, Brown thoroughly enjoyed working with all of the student-athletes and realized that education was the correct career choice for him. He began working as a substitute teacher in Webster County in February 2019, and this only confirmed his passion for the profession. As Brown graduates from WKU in May of this year, his goal is to bring positive energy into the classroom every single day and push students to be the very best that they can be. His bigEDidea can potentially give students every opportunity to be fully prepared for life after high school—whether they are going to college or directly into the workforce.
