Improving the Quality of Career and Technical Alternative Teacher Preparation: An Induction Model of Professional Development and Support
The demand for effective career/technical education — and CT teachers — has grown as the nation seeks a more highly skilled and educated workforce. The U.S. Office of Vocational and Adult Education funded SREB and the National Research Center for Career and Technical Education to develop and field-test an induction model to prepare individuals who want to leave their mid-career industry jobs and become career/technical education teachers. This document is the Year 4 and 5 Research Report on the model, which includes professional development, workshops, coaching and other components.
