27. Skilled and Technical Sciences (STS) Teaching Program NDE FALL 2014

28. Welcome! • Eric KnollUniversity of NebraskaAssistant Professor of Practice for Skilled and Technical Sciences in the Department of Ag Leadership, Education and Communication

29. What is the Need? • Today there are 450 Industrial Technology Teachers in Nebraska middle schools and high schools • Over 20% could retire in the next few years • Without qualified teachers, Skilled and Technical Science programs will not survive

30. What is the Solution? • Grow our own • Identify students of interest throughout the state • Recruit secondary students and parents • Educate students and parents about this career path

31. What Do You Think? • Turn to the person next to you and talk about what you like about your profession • Talk about what you would share to encourage one of your students to become an STS teacher

32. What is the 2+2 Program? • The University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Community Colleges in Partnership • The new Skilled and Technical Sciences program is a partnership between UNL’s Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education and Communication (ALEC) Southeast Community College (SCC) and Metropolitan Community College (MCC).

33. How Does It Work? • The Best of Both Worlds • The partnership builds on the existing strengths of each school without placing additional strains on budget resources • SCC and MCC students will have access to current technology and will learn tools, machines, and processes specific to a variety of career paths • Students will complete UNL coursework already part of ALEC’s successful teacher preparation program

34. The Program • Years 1 and 2 • Southeast Community College • Metro Community College

University of Nebraska • Students participating in the 2+2 program are considered University of Nebraska students and can live on campus and enjoy all the benefits of University life • Students must have completed the Skilled and Technical Sciences program with a 2+2 Agreement through their community college before taking classes at UNL

43. University of Nebraska • To be admitted into the student teaching program candidates must have: • Grade point average of 2.75 including no grades lower than “C” within the endorsement area, and no grades lower than “C+” within professional education courses • Passing scores within the Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST) • 1,000 hours of verified work experience within the Skilled and Technical Sciences (STS) career cluster, or 300 hours of supervised employment in the STS career cluster under the direction of a UNL academic unit • Three written letters of recommendation; one of which must be a character reference

44. How Do We Get Students Interested? • Market through social media • Luncheon for future STS teachers • Use the NCE conference to challenge new perspective teachers • Other Ideas? • At your table, discuss ways you feel we could identify students of interest for this career path • Have someone record your ideas • Share with the group

45. Thank You! Eric KnollUniversity of NebraskaAssistant Professor of Practice for Skilled and Technical Sciences in the Department of Ag Leadership, Education and Communication

46. STS Supplemental Endorsement • Formerly T&I • Needed if you work on projects for use outside of school http://www.education.ne.gov/sts/ Under Standards click on: STS Supplemental Endorsement Guidelines

47. Career Ed Certificate • Certificate can only be applied for by the school • Teacher can only teach in their area of expertise • Online course on pedagogy might be coming in a year or two

48. Redefining Programs of Study POS creates a pathway from secondary to postsecondary education and/or work through a sequence of academic and technical courses, extended learning opportunities and support activities. CTE Sequence of Courses = sequence of a minimum of 3 semester courses

49. Why Do We Care about POS? • College and Career Readiness • Student transitions between secondary and postsecondary and into workforce • Coordinated and sequenced curriculum • Postsecondary credits

50. Be Aware! • Work is being done on a NEW state accountability system • Should be done by December 2014 • Career Education is in 5 of the 6 tenets • PoS Information and Course Coding are VERY Important to help your school rank well!
