This document contains six articles that give education and training practitioners practical suggestions for applying SCANS in classrooms and workplaces: "SCANS in the Schools" (Kopple et al.) helps educators incorporating SCANS competencies into curricula and instruction by identifying issues likely to arise and giving examples of incorporation of specific competencies; "Implementing SCANS: First Lessons" (Meltzer, White, and Matheson) highlights 10 examples of state and local efforts to strengthen school-work linkages; "Students Use SCANS to Explore Changing Jobs: Lessons of IndianaPLUS" (Harr) describes replicable lessons from a statewide Indiana project in which high school seniors assessed skills requirements in local workplaces and communicated the results to other students and throughout their communities; "Preparing Limited English Proficiency Students for the Workplace" (Grognet) focuses on special issues for educators whose students are first- or second-generation immigrants, and who must teach the SCANS competencies in English and in the context and culture of U.S. workplaces; "Technology and High-Performance Schools: A SCANS Survey" (Schmidt, Packer) specifies what schools and technology companies would buy if they had $1,000 per student to spend on computer hardware; and "Assessment of the SCANS Competencies: Some Examples" (Wirt) features promising activities and approaches for assessing how well the SCANS competencies are being taught and learned. A list of SCANS members is included in the report. (KC)
Contextual Teaching and Learning by Elaine B. Johnson Pdf
Contextual teaching and learning (CTL) is a system for teaching that is grounded in brain research. Brain research indicates that we learn best when we see meaning in new tasks and material, and we discover meaning when we are able to connect new information with our existing knowledge and experiences. Students learn best, according to neuroscience, when they can connect the content of academic lessons with the context of their own daily lives. Johnson discusses the elements of the brain-compatible contextual teaching and learning system: making meaningful connections; investing school work with significance; self-regulated learning; collaboration; critical and creating thinking; nurturing the individual; reaching high standards; and using authentic assessment. Drawing on the practices of teachers in kindergarten through university, Johnson provides numerous examples of how to use each part of the CTL system.

Expanding Literacies by Mary Sue Garay,Stephen A. Bernhardt Pdf
1999 Best Collection of Essays in Technical and Scientific Communication presented by the National Council of Teachers of English Expanding Literacies presents eighteen fresh essays that explore how English teaching at both secondary and post-secondary levels can be made more work-relevant. The book shows teachers, administrators, and workplace trainers how to put aside disabling dichotomies of school versus work in favor of preparing students with new skills for new workplaces. Within a theoretical context that encourages development of situated uses of language, the volume identifies ways to reshape traditional English classes so that students are prepared to be successful in work environments that demand teamwork, problem solving, and complex communication skills. Some chapters examine the escalating literacy demands of specific workplaces: manufacturing, health care, chemical and nuclear industries, and high-tech settings. Other chapters examine what we currently do in schools and describe new models and theoretical approaches to better equip students for a changing workplace. The book has a wealth of practical ideas for structuring classrooms, making assignments, and choosing materials that will help students make the transition from school to work.

Empowering Teachers for Equitable and Sustainable Education by Maria Teresa Tatto Pdf
This groundbreaking book uses a comprehensive study of a novel Master of Education program to showcase how teachers can be engaged in authoritative equity‐based research, using comparative education theory, inquiry‐based pedagogy, and the UNESCO SDGs as powerful frameworks. By developing agency to advance culturally sustaining and humanizing practices, it demonstrates how teachers can promote equity in their classrooms and communities. The central premise of the program is that teachers must become comparative, global, and local action researchers to have agency in their practice and to become effective advocates for the cultural and learning needs of their students, especially those in disadvantaged contexts or “learning at the bottom of the pyramid.” By learning comparative framing and social science methods, reviewing the literature to select verifiable educational research, and developing and implementing a plan for action research, this book offers new ideas for how teachers can effectively respond to recent UNESCO calls to reimagine and create promising futures locally. By providing formative and summative evidence of culturally and socially transformative learning, and showcasing how teacher educators can engage teachers in authoritative justice‐inquiry‐based research, this book will appeal to scholars, faculty, and researchers of comparative education and teacher education, and development.
