“If the U.S. is to maintain its economic leadership and compete in the new global

economy, the nation must prepare today’s K-12 students better to be tomorrow’s

productive workers and citizens. Changing workforce requirements mean that new

workers will need ever more sophisticated skills in science, mathematics, engineering

and technology ...

“There are kids on Maui who have never been to

the top of the mountain or to Hana much less have they traveled off of the

island.”

When I say Maui, do you think science and

technology or innovation?

“I do not think Maui is any different than the mainland…post

industrialization has placed greater demands

on math and education.” –Rose Yamada, elder

“If you were present when the Oklahoma land grant colleges were

formed in the 1800s and you visited the university campuses today, you would not see much

change in the structure of learning and the classroom.”

--President Hargis, Oklahoma State University

NECC 2004

U.S. education market is $750 billion (Credit Suisse First Boston, 2003). More money is spent in the United States on education than in any other industry with the exception of health care. Annual expenditures are more than Social Security and defense combined. (Glakas, National Council of Higher Education Loan Programs, 2003)

Why is the classroom structured this way? Or perhaps as important,

why is learning structured this way?

Agrarian Age

Industrial Age

Transitional Time

In the early 20th century, deplorable working conditions, child labor abuses, and lack of wage protection were just some of the issues that prompted the creation of the U.S. Department of Labor. In 1913, Congress created the Department as an agency dedicated to foster, promote, and develop the welfare of the American worker. This marked the culmination of nearly half a century of public demand for an agency that would be devoted exclusively to the welfare of American workers. The Department has been dedicated to helping workers adapt to the ever-changing conditions of the economy and the work place. http://www.dol.gov/oasam/doljobs/aboutdol.htm

In 1956, Benjamin Bloom headed a group of educational psychologists who developed a classification of levels of intellectual behavior important in learning. Bloom found that over 95% of the test questions students encounter require them to think only at the lowest possible level...the recall of information.

How is the structure of learning different in

CTE than in traditional academics?

Andragogy consists of learning strategies focused

on adults.

Pedagogy consists of learning strategies focused

on children.

Knowles' theory can be stated with six assumptions of adult learning:

1. Adults need to know the reason for learning something (Need to Know)2. Experience (including error) provides the basis for learning activities (Foundation).3. Adults need to be responsible for their decisions on education; involvement in the planning and evaluation of their instruction (Self-concept).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andragogy


1. CTE students need to know the reason for learning something (Need to Know)2. For CTE Students experience (including error) provides the basis for learning activities (Foundation).3. CTE students are responsible for their decisions on education and involved in the planning and evaluation of their instruction (Self-concept).



4. CTE students are most interested in learning subjects having immediate relevance to their work and/or personal lives (Readiness).5. CTE learning is problem-centered rather than content-oriented (Orientation).6. CTE students respond better to internal versus external motivators (Motivation).

“Growing evidence shows that [career] pathways hold promise for reducing high school dropout rates, increasing academic achievement and learning, and increasing

students’ earning power when they graduate. Equally compelling, studies show that students enrolled in [career]

pathways perform as well as their traditionally educated counterparts on key

measures.”http://www.connectedcalifornia.org/advance_copy/policy_paper.pdf

“Those who complete both a strong academic curriculum and a vocational program of study (dual

concentrators) may have better outcomes than those who pursue one or the other (Silverberg, Warner, Fong, &

Goodwin, 2004; Plank, 2001; Stone & Aliaga, 2003)” (National Alliance for Secondary Education and Transition, 2005, Career

CTE is for students who cannot cut it in the academic classroom…

CTE is for remedial students

CTE’s application--learning by doing approach—is less rigorous than

academic learning.

CTE is for those children—not my child.
