Extractions: Information for State-Approved Facilitators/Providers Purpose High school faculty teaching statewide-articulated courses must participate in joint secondary and postsecondary professional development activities. These activities must include delivery of standard information on the Statewide Articulation Program and Tech Prep, as well as subject-specific content alignment activities. Annual joint secondary and postsecondary faculty curriculum review activities are currently offered and may be modified to include standard content developed for the statewide articulation process. The Statewide Articulation Professional Development Program is designed to provide information to high school teachers to help them understand: Elements of the Statewide Articulation Program; Relationship of statewide articulation to Tech Prep programs; Content of postsecondary WECM courses; and Expected level of performance of students completing content-enhanced, statewide-articulated courses. Background In response to recommendations of the committee for statewide articulation guidelines, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) initiated a process for the identification of statewide-articulated secondary career and technology education courses. This process includes additions to secondary course offerings and use of the special explanation code for these courses (A code) on the Academic Achievement Record (AAR, high school transcript).

Sources of Additional Information Nature of the Work About this section Back to Top Social and human service assistant is a generic term for people with various job titles, including human service worker, case management aide, social work assistant, community support worker, mental health aide, community outreach worker, life skill counselor, or gerontology aide. They usually work under the direction of professionals from a variety of fields, such as nursing, psychiatry, psychology, rehabilitative or physical therapy, or social work. The amount of responsibility and supervision they are given varies a great deal. Some have little direct supervision; others work under close direction. Social and human service assistants play a variety of roles in a community. They may organize and lead group activities, assist clients in need of counseling or crisis intervention, or administer a food bank or emergency fuel program. In halfway houses, group homes, and government-supported housing programs, they assist adults who need supervision with personal hygiene and daily living skills. They review clients' records, ensure that they take correct doses of medication, talk with family members, and confer with medical personnel and other caregivers to gain better insight into clients' backgrounds and needs. Social and human service assistants also provide emotional support and help clients become involved in their own well-being, in community recreation programs, and in other activities.

Professional Development Opportunities For Teachers SENATE COMMITTEE ON health, EDUCATION, LABOR AND of beginning teachers leave the occupationwithin the ongoing professional development activities for teachers http://www.ncei.com/Testimony062299.htm
Extractions: Washington, DC The professional development of teachers has become a major concern as the nation grapples with ways to improve the quality of education in America. The Administration and the Congress of the United States are being called upon again to respond to the growing need for more and better teachers.Data indicating that large numbers of beginning teachers leave the occupation within the five years have raised serious questions about the initial preparation of teachers for the job. In addition, ongoing professional development activities for teachers continue to be heavily criticized. I have been asked by you to address these issues and ways that alternative teacher preparation and certification can be used in bringing quality individuals into the teaching profession and to improve the preparation and ongoing professional development needs of teachers. Clearly the best place to learn the professional development needs of teachers is from teachers themselves. You are demonstrating that fact by hearing testimony today on this important topic from several classroom teachers.
What Is OT? The word occupation means just that, the things we do influence the state of his ownhealth. Mary Reilly of work, selfcare, and play activities to increase http://www.utc.edu/~occther/OT/Students/whatisot.html
Extractions: OT is based on the assumption that occupation or "doing" is essential for healthy living. The word occupation means just that, the things we do every day. Occupational therapy helps patients learn and relearn many of the ordinary tasks they perform everyday at home, work, school, and in the community. OT's are experts at assessing the specific occupational difficulties a person may have. Our goal is to help the patient have as productive, independent, and satisfying life as possible. Therapy is designed to use activities that are important the the individual in the treatment process. Therapy may include teaching the person new skills or adapting the environment so that they may perform the tasks of everyday life. Whatever the persons skill level OT chooses activities that will be interesting and motivational.

Extractions: Hand Therapy Certification, 1991 The following is a transcript of Ms. Ivy's presentation at Biology Career Day 2001: I am occupational therapist, and I have a specialty in hand therapy. It's structured in such a way that, once you become an occupational or a physical therapist, you can specialize further in areas such as pediatrics, geriatrics, hand therapy, as well as other branches. I have done a little of everything, but hand therapy has been the one that has been most consistent throughout. Right out of high school I was majoring in biology, and I switched to occupational therapy - which was under the biological sciences at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where I went. So it was an easy switch, and I was able to finish in four years with a bachelor's of science in occupational therapy. I did go on and get my master's in counseling psychology, but I've used that to help me with the OT rather than for any other purpose. And I have also used that in order to teach at Grand Canyon University, where I teach part time. I had to have my master's degree in order to teach.

Health Care Report Maine's health Care Skilled Worker Shortage A Call to in response to the health care providers' request for inadequate supply of trained health care professionals, poor retention http://www.mtcs.net/NewFiles/healthcare.html
Extractions: Cultural Affairs and Health and Human Services Dear Governor King, Leaders of the Maine Legislature and Committee Chairs: Our Committee was created in response to the health care providers' request for help to address their urgent need for skilled workers in their workplaces across the state. The Committee believes that there are a number of factors contributing to this problem. These factors include an inadequate supply of trained health care professionals, poor retention of existing employees and the movement of many Maine citizens already trained in these fields out of the profession. In order to address these factors and capitalize on the opportunities they present, we will need to improve working conditions, address structural financial issues related to health care payment methods and assure that there is an appropriate supply of workers educated to meet the needs of the health care system now and for the future. It is this last issue, the supply of skilled workers to meet Maine's needs, that was defined as the specific, targeted scope of this Committee's recommendations.
