Emerging Teacher Education Curricular Models. Leadership Training Series No. 33.

Overview & Synopsis

Leaders from across the country attended the Fourth Annual National Vocational-Technical Teacher Education seminar, which focused on emerging teacher education curricular models. The November 1970 seminar had three primary objectives: (1) to provide an understanding of the performance-based core concept of a model vocational-technical teacher education curriculum, (2) to focus on an understanding of the administrator's role in implementing a core-based vocational-technical education curriculum, and (3) to foster an understanding of the teacher educator's role in implementing vocational-technical teacher education curriculum improvements. This seminar report contains presentations of over 20 national leaders in teacher education, and includes many of the findings of a 3-year research project conducted at The Center for Vocational and Technical Education on performance-based model curriculums and core concepts for organizing and providing professional offerings. It should be useful to those interested in modifying teacher education curriculums and in developing new models for teacher education. (CD)
