The new teacher
Article Abstract:
The advisory committee of the Professional Personnel Development Center for Vocational Education at Pennsylvania State University initiated a program to look for ways to improve the current process of recruiting and certifying vocational teachers at the high school level. The committee sees better financial compensation as one way to attract specialty instructors. Another factor that the committee is considering is the technical orientation of many vocational teachers who tend to concentrate more on what they teach than whom they teach.

Vocational teacher education: at a crossroads
Article Abstract:
The certification of vocational and technical teachers is different from that of other public school teachers. The primary qualification for their employment is based, not on their college degree, but on their extensive experience in a particular craft or profession. There have been suggestions to initiate reforms in vocational and technical teacher education programs to better prepare them to teach students into the 21st century.
