We had a very special guest in the Education Professions classroom this week! Shane Lawhon, a graduate of our very first Ed Prof class, returned to share his insights from the "front lines" of education.
Shane spoke to our current students about effective classroom management techniques, drawing from his recent experience substitute teaching. Since graduating, Shane has been busy completing Ivy Tech’s intensive ASAP program. He is currently finishing his Associate Degree and is headed to Ball State’s Teachers College to pursue his dream of becoming an English teacher! 🎓📖
We are incredibly proud of Shane’s progress and grateful he took the time to pour back into our program. The future of education is looking bright!

Program spotlight:
Course Overview:
The EMT capstone course at Blue River Career Programs is the culminating component of the Fire Rescue program. This course is designed to reinforce and integrate the knowledge, and skills students have developed throughout their training. It focuses on advanced patient assessment, emergency response procedures, trauma and medical scenario management, and professional communication within a healthcare team. Through hands-on simulations and real-world scenarios, students demonstrate competency in critical thinking, decision-making, and safe patient care. The capstone ensures that students meet the required standards of the National Registry of EMTs, as well as the State of Indiana, and are prepared to enter the field of emergency medical and fire services. The Blue River Career Programs Fire-Rescue course focuses on the fundamentals of the fire service and EMS. Beginning Junior year and returning Senior year. Students have the opportunity to receive State certification in Hazardous Materials Awareness and Operations along with Firefighter I and Firefighter II and National registry NREMT. These certifications combined enable the student to meet the state minimum requirements to begin a career or volunteer in the fire service in the state of Indiana.

What The Class Means to Me:
The EMT capstone course at Blue River Career Programs means so much to me because it has been more than just a class—it has felt like a family. The supportive environment created by both instructors and classmates made it possible to grow, learn, and push through challenges together. The program provides high-quality training with a strong balance between classroom instruction and hands-on skills, ensuring that every concept is not only understood but applied. The real-world scenarios and practice have helped prepare us for the realities of emergency medicine, building confidence and critical thinking in high-pressure situations. I am truly grateful for the dedication, guidance, and experience this program has given me, and it has left a lasting impact on both my education and my future in EMS.
