PEFE STC in CA

摘要

In July 1998, with funding from the California School-to-Career Interagency Partners, California State University, Hayward (CSUH) planned, initiated, and implemented a statewide network of professional educators, including its School of Education faculty members. With a statewide Advisory Group, CSUH created the guiding principles, characteristics, and plan for a higher education, K-18 network of faculty to enhance STC in California. The group requested teams of university and college deans of education and their K-l 8 partners to develop contextual learning plans that enhance the preparation of teachers and counselors through contextual teaching and STC efforts. The project was marketed through- out California as an opportunity for K-18 preservice faculty development with release time, benefits, and collegial opportunities. After distributing a request for proposals, five K-18 teams were selected to participate in Year One, with six to eight members per team in regions throughout the state offering preservice programs. Orientation forums for project faculty were conducted during the statewide School-to-Career Academy in Burlingame in July 1998. Teams from the San Diego, San Francisco, San Gabriel, San Jose, and San Francisco East Bay areas completed contextual/experiential projects in teacher, counselor, and/or administrator preparation programs by September 1999.
