Day One Matters: Building Expectations, Systems, and Culture Through Mise en Place. Session 1 of 5
Monday June 8, 2026 1:00pm - 1:45pm CDT
Students don’t rise to expectations they never hear, see or understand.  The tone of your program is set on the very first day. This session demonstrates how a simple chicken fabrication lesson can be used to establish expectations, routines, safety, professionalism, and industry mindset from the start. Participants will see how mise en place becomes more than prep, it becomes the foundation for student success all year long.
