This article, reprinted from the May 1990 issue of the ‘Vocational education journal’, v. 65, no. 4, pp. 22-24, looks at the difficulties faced by beginning vocational teachers in schools in the United States. The authors conclude that most of the beginning teacher’s problems come from three sources: the school system itself, the students, and each teacher’s internal struggle. The article briefly outlines these problem areas, and makes suggestions for ways in which vocational administrators can make the life of a beginning vocational teacher easier. Show less

In response to demands for improved performance and efficiency, many secondary and postsecondary schools in the United States of America (USA) are undergoing significant change. This process of change affects the roles and responsibilities of the teachers staffing those schools. This publication presents the outcomes and recommendations of a research project which was funded by the National Center for Research in Vocational Education (NCRVE) as part of a two-part study on ‘Redesigning education of instructional staff for high schools and community colleges’ (the other study is indexed at TD/TNC 62.872). The researchers sought to develop a conceptual framework for the new roles and responsibilities for staff in support of educational change, to devise a list of competencies appropriate to the new roles, and to recommend preservice and inservice staff development programs designed to develop these competencies.

The mini-sabbatical, Designing classrooms that work, was designed to help teachers learn how to make the kinds of curricular and pedagogical changes needed by the reforms to integrate vocational and academic education and to improve the school-to-career transition. It provides teachers with an opportunity to learn about today’s workplace and draw meaningful connections between the workplace and the classroom. The goal is to enable teachers to acquire skills that will 1) increase their knowledge of workplace practice; 2) help them create a high quality, integrated curriculum that incorporates both domain-specific (e.g. academic, technical) and generic (e.g. problem solving, communications) skills; 3) help them design classrooms that promote authentic learning; and 4) help them develop assessments that provide meaningful feedback to the students and teacher. The companion report (see TD/INT 57.233) describes the design, presents findings from the assessment of the pilot study and outlines the lessons learned from the study. Show less

In this paper, the author shares some thoughts of the National Alliance of Business on the current state of public-private partnerships and to discuss how these might be improved. The Alliance believes that a well-designed public-private partnership can be a powerful means of achieving goals that no one group could accomplish alone. The author addresses the following areas: defining a partnership and the steps in building partnerships; partnerships in job training; and opportunities for partnerships in vocational education. In conclusion, the author suggests that the challenge for the Alliance, for the National Center for Research in Vocational Education, and for others, is to develop, understand, and communicate the need for partnerships, the advantages of partnerships, the difficulties and challenges of successful partnerships, and the techniques for making them work.
