Professional Development of Beginning Vocational Teachers: An Introduction to the Professional Development Program for Beginning Vocational Teachers.
Camp, William G.; Heath-Camp, Betty
This guide serves as an introduction to the Professional Development Program for Beginning Vocational Teachers. The program has a research base; its overall goal, as outlined in the guide, is to provide a flexible and adaptable mechanism for beginning vocational teachers to have a smoother transition into the field of teaching. The program consists of 11 major components: (1) systematic administrative support; (2) a detailed orientation structured around a specific set of topics; (3) a research-based beginning teacher handbook; (4) a structured mentoring program; (5) a peer support group; (6) an ongoing series of inservice workshops; (7) coaching in reflection; (8) certification courses for teachers with provisional or emergency certificates; (9) a professional development plan individualized to the beginning teacher; (10) a professional development center; and (11) a local professional development coordinator. The program is designed as a collaborative effort involving the local education agency, the state department of education, professional teacher organizations, and teacher education institutions. (KC)
