This report describes the results of a two-year effort to understand better the rationale and processes that underlie schools' course offerings and students' coursetaking and draws implications from these for the reform of vocational education. At present the matching of students to different high school programs carries with it racial, ethnic and social class overtones. The study suggests that there is a strong need for the reforms, and that there are obstacles in the culture of schools that will confront them. Further research and experimentation are recommended.

Vocational education and arts education: an important synergy

This issue of ‘Centerfocus’ argues that arts education, encompassing dance, music, theatre, and the visual arts, should be included in the vocational curriculum in secondary school. The authors suggest that study of the arts in addition to skills training is a valuable strategy for educating young people for further study and work. The paper documents the relationship between vocational education and arts education over the course of the 20th century. The discussion then examines the relationship between the changing employee characteristics required of the emerging economy of the new century and the implications of these changes for better collaboration between vocational and arts education. In conclusion, the authors look at circumstances favouring cooperation between vocational and arts education teachers, and recommend strategies to facilitate this relationship. Show less

Two worlds: vocational and academic teachers in comprehensive high schools

This paper attends to the position that vocational teachers occupy in the professional community of the high school. Many reformers seek a more productive integration of the vocational and academic aims of schooling; however, few of the critics or proponents of reform have illuminated teachers' own experiences with high school teaching in ways that would help assess the genuine prospects for change. This study concludes that there are possibilities for change, i.e. a greater integration of academic and vocational education in secondary schools, but at present the disincentives and barriers to change fragment the entire curriculum and the way that students and teachers encounter it.
