The New Vocationalism: What It Is, What It Could Be.
Grubb, W. Norton
Phi Delta Kappan, v77 n8 p535-36,538-46 Apr 1996
A fifth strand of the "new vocationalism" is trying to align academic and vocational education by restructuring high schools to provide more consistent integration opportunities. These efforts take the form of career academies, clusters or career paths, and occupational high schools or magnet schools. Active, student-centered pedagogies seem most promising.
