Sources of Additional Information Significant Points Public school teachers must have at least a bachelor’s degree, complete an approved teacher education program, and be licensed. Many States offer alternative licensing programs to attract people into teaching, especially for hard-to-fill positions. Excellent job opportunities are expected as a large number of teachers retire over the next 10 years, particularly at the secondary school level; opportunities will vary somewhat by geographic area and subject taught. Nature of the Work About this section Back to Top Teachers act as facilitators or coaches, using interactive discussions and “hands-on” approaches to help students learn and apply concepts in subjects such as science, mathematics, or English. They utilize “props” or “manipulatives” to help children understand abstract concepts, solve problems, and develop critical thought processes. For example, they teach the concepts of numbers or of addition and subtraction by playing board games. As the children get older, the teachers use more sophisticated materials, such as science apparatus, cameras, or computers. To encourage collaboration in solving problems, students are increasingly working in groups to discuss and solve problems together. Preparing students for the future workforce is the major stimulus generating the changes in education. To be prepared, students must be able to interact with others, adapt to new technology, and think through problems logically. Teachers provide the tools and the environment for their students to develop these skills.

Sources of Additional Information Significant Points Many adult literacy and remedial and self-enrichment teachers work part time and receive no benefits; unpaid volunteers also teach these subjects. Opportunities for teachers of English as a second language are expected to be very good, due to the expected increase in the number of residents with limited English skills who seek classes. Demand for self-enrichment courses is expected to rise with growing numbers of people who embrace lifelong learning and of retirees who have more free time to take classes. Nature of the Work About this section Back to Top Self-enrichment teachers teach courses that students take for pleasure or personal enrichment; these classes are not usually intended to lead to a particular degree or vocation. Self-enrichment teachers may instruct children or adults in a wide variety of areas, such as cooking, dancing, creative writing, photography, or personal finance.

Home Library Articles on Education / Using Problem-Solving Approaches in Vocational Education Using Problem-Solving Approaches in Vocational Education Author: Bettina Lankard Brown Date: The problem-solving approach to teaching and learning has evolved from the theories of John Dewey. It has been used especially in agricultural education as a way to relate classroom learning to real-life situations or problems. This Brief focuses on practice applications of problem solving in vocational education and their relationship to contextual learning environments. Problem Solving for Teaching and Learning Agricultural education has emphasized problem solving as a means of helping students to develop decision-making skills and teachers to alter their teaching methodology. The traditional method of problem solving for decision making reflects Dewey's five-step model for learning, expanded to six steps by Newcomb, McCracken, and Warmbrod (Straquadine and Egelund 1992): (1) identification of the problem situation: What is happening?; (2) definition of the problem: What must be done?; (3) search for information: What do we need to know?; (4) analysis of data: What are the important considerations?; (5) testing possible solutions: What will happen if this action is followed?; and (6) conclusion: What action is most promising?

THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC The reform movements of the 1980s triggered numerous demands to reexamine and reform the way students and their teachers are educated. This Digest examines the implications for vocational teacher education emerging from general teacher education reform movements. It discusses how excellence in vocational education teaching can be achieved and proposes 21st century models for vocational teacher education. IMPACTS OF REFORM MOVEMENTS ON VOCATIONAL TEACHER EDUCATION Several of the major reform initiatives of the 1980s and early 1990s argued that improving education requires improving teacher quality and, accordingly, teacher education. Numerous changes in teacher recruitment, preparation, and certification were proposed. (For a detailed list, see Hartley, Mantle-Bromley, and Cobb 1996.) In response to the calls for reform, general teacher education programs raised admission standards/exit requirements; revised curricula to reflect multiculturalism and new K-12 standards; paid more attention to pedagogy, teaching practice, and relevance; included clinical experiences in public schools and other learning environments; and proposed new model standards/principles for licensing beginning teachers (Lynch 1997).

elcome to the Vocational Education Page in the Dubuque Community Schools Web site. In Dubuque Community Schools, vocational education takes many and varied forms, from curriculum planning to activities that extend opportunities for our students beyond the classroom experience. Today vocational education includes highly technical training to prepare students for the evolving information industry, for example. Why Vocational Education is So Important In many individual cases, a four-year liberal arts education may not be the best fit for a particular student at this stage of his or her life. This is why the Dubuque Community School District is collaborating with regional and state education agencies as well as the Iowa Association of Business and Industry, to continually explore and cultivate post secondary educational options for our students. One of the programs we are most enthusiastic about is School-to-Work. Below is a cursory outline of School-to-Work as we apply it in our District.

Site Links Home Search for ERIC Digests Privacy Policy Resources for Library Instruction ... Information Literacy Blog ERIC Identifier: Publication Date: Author: Harrison, Cheryl Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Adult Career and Vocational Education Columbus OH. Bilingual Vocational Education for Immigrants. Overview. ERIC Digest No. 49. Between 3.5 and 6.5 million adults in America are limited English-proficient (LEP). Most are immigrants; many understand virtually no English. Eighty percent of the "new" immigrants (those arriving since 1970) are from the Third World and have limited job skills. Such limitations make the immigrant's earliest tasks difficult. Housing and food are pressing needs, but limited English proficiency and no job prospects make food shopping difficult and apartment hunting nearly impossible. Then, the children must be enrolled in school and utilities must be contracted. The individual has to learn to read a bus schedule, to shop for goods and services, and to sign a check (which may require learning a new alphabet). To finance this new way of life, the individual needs a job. Most immigrants face major obstacles in obtaining employment. Lopez-Valadez and others (l985) have identified four such obstacles.
