FOREWORDThis Module is one of .a series of 100 performance-basedteacher education (pBTE)- rsaming packages focusing uponspecific professional competencies of vocational teachers. Thecompetencies upon which these modules are based ware

and verified through research as being important to sucTcessftil vocational teaching at both the secondary and post-secondary-levels of instruction. The modules are suitable orthe preparation of teachers in all'occupational areas.Each module provides learning experiences that integratetheory and application; each culminates with criterion refer-enced-assessment-of the teacher's performance of the spec-ified competency. The materials are designed for use by indi-vidual or groups of teachers in training working under thedirection and with the assistance of teacher edu Gators acting as-resource.persons: Resource persons should be skilled in theteacher competency being developed -and should be thor-oughly oriented to PEITZ concepts and procedures mousingthese materials.

The design of the materials provides considerable flexibility forplanning and conducting performance -based preservico andinservIce teacher preparation programs to meet a wide varietyof individual needs and interests. The materials are intended foruse by universities andcolleges;state departments of educa-tion, post-cecondary institutions, local education agencies, andothers responsible for the professional development of voca-tional teachers. Further information about the use of the mod-ulesinleacher education programs is.contained in three re-lated documenta: Student Guide to Using Performance-BasedTeacher Education Materials, Resource Person Guide toUsing Performance-Based Teacher Education Materials andGuide to Implementation of Performance-Based TeacherEducation.

The PBTE curnculum packages are products of a sustainedresearch and development effort by The Center's Program forProfessional Development for Vocational Education. Many in-dividuals, institutions, and agencies participated with The Cen-ter and have made contributions to the sistematic, develop-ment, testing, revision, and refinement of these very significanttraining materials. Over 40 teacher educators provided input indevelopment -.of initial versions of the modules; over-2,000teachers and 300 resource persons in 20 universities, colleges,and post-secondary institutions used the materials a,id pro-vided feedback to The Center for revision and refinement.

Special recognition for major individual roles in the direction,development, coordination of testing, revision, and refinementof these materials is extended to the following program staff:James B. Hamilton, Program Director; Robert E. Norton, As-

The professional vocational teacher proVidesservices to the schdol'and-communIty which gobeyond the ipecifiC responsibIlitieS of conductinghi. /her own instructional program. Vocationalteachers accept responsibilities for service to theirschool:and Community because they realize thatproVidi no a sound educational program requires ateam effort and sharing of responsibilities on thepart-of &I teachers.

Some of these duties will be handled on a volun-tary *is, while others are assigned on a rota-tional basis. In addition, the size of the schoolsystem and the number of teachers in the system

_often influence the number of extracui .icular and

INTRODUCTION

noninstructional duties for which each teacher isresponsible.

Aside from noninstructional school responsibili-ties, it is not unusual for a vocational teacher to beasked to contribute his/her profession& expertisein an advisory or other aapacitylo various com-munity activities. Such contributions benefit notonly the community, but the- teacher; the - school;and the students.

This module is designed to assist you in develop-ing the attitudes and competencies necessary tocarrying out your professional responsibilities inserving the school and community.

For information concerning the ways in which you can effectively serveyour school and community, and describing your responsibilities in thisarea, read the following information sheet:

SERVING THE SCHOOL AND 'COMMUNITYThe day-to-day operation of a school involves far

more than classroom instruction. For example, inorder for secondary schools to run efficiently; stu-dents need to be accounted for at all times, andthey may need, supervisiOn in,the corridors,-In thecafeteria, and in study halls. Students at all levels,secondary and post-secondary, can benefit frombelonging to extracurricular clubs and participat-ing in extracurricular activities. Clubs need ad-visors aticrthiiiii activities need chaperones.

Typically, the classroom teacher has been ex-peCted to assume these extra duties. In recentyears, there has been a great deal of discussionabout the subject. Many educators feel that, asspecialists, they should be allowed to expend alltheir energies working directly in their area ofspecialization. They fee! t' ad many of the nonin-structional duties such as taking titter dare ursupervising study hall could and should be han-dled by paraprofessionals.

To avoid misunderstandings, there is an increas-ing tendency to fully define teachers' duties incontracts. Such a contract would specify (1) whichnoninstructional duties teachers are expected tobe responsible for, and (2) which duties parapro-fessionals will be responsible for.

Although there is some justification for teachersto feel overburdened with noninstructional extras,there are equally good reasons for teachers tobecome involved in these other areas. When youcome to know students in a variety of settings, youget a much more realistic picture of their wide

6

range of needs and interests, and you can developmore open relationships with them.

From a practical point of viewJew-schools areable to hire parEiprofesSionaledue to limited funds,nor are-all paraprofEissionals adequidelOrainedfor the duties they are expected to perform., Thus,even though using paraprofessionals is a good-idea, at present you as ateaCherwill.probably findyourself involved'in handling some of these extraduties.

Two other areas of responsibility frequently,assigned to teachers involve assisting fellowteachers lind'eerving the community. You may beexpected to serve as a "buddy" to a new teacher tohelp orient that new teacher to yoursChool's modeof operation and help him/her becorne a part of the

_educational team. You.rhay be asked to lend yourexpertise to a community project. Your school mayoxpect all teachers to accept some responsibilitiesin these areas.

The point is to lake these responSibitities seri-ously and do them well. If you accept a positionwhich calls for you to carry your fair share of theseextra duties, then it is your professional duty to doso. When a teacher fails to take attendance, or toshow up for cafeteria duty, or when he or sherefuses to.sponsor any clubs, the effects are prob-ably far more` harmful than` lareadily Obvious:le=gaily, the school could face serious problems if, forexempla, e. student is Injured in an unsupervisedcafeteria or a Student Is reported atitaing at schoolwhen he or she is, in fact, truant. Thus, youneed tobe careful to -identify andlhen ;follow safoty andsecurity procedures in carrying out such assign-ments.

In addition, there cantle every harmful effect onstaff morale and unity and student discipline youdo not take these assignMents seriously. For ex-ample, if there are six-teachers In the department,and three of those teachers,fall.to enforce.cliss_attendance rules, this cou!d- cause the threeteachers who are following- the ruiee to appearunnecessarily harsh. This does not make for goodpeer relations among teachers and can harm therelations between students and the teachers whoabide by the rules. As a dedicated professionalteacher, you need,tomake a conscious decision to

Page 8: DOCUMENT RESUME ED 153 079 OS · DOCUMENT RESUME ED 153 079 OS CE 015 877 TITLE Rrofessional Teacher Educaticn Module Series. Serve. the School and Community, Module 1-4 of Category

participate fully and conscientiously in all dutiesexpected of you at your school.

The first step you must take is to determine,before you accapt a position and sign a contract,exactly what sorts of duties you will be expected toperform as a teacher in that school or district. Ifyou are unwilling to perform those duties, then as aprofessional you should not accept a teaching po-sition in that district.

Once you have accepted a position in a particu-lar school, you need to identify the specific proce-dures governing each of your duties, and to striveto follow those procedures as you meet your vary-ing responsibilities as a teacher.

Duties and ProceduresBased on the way in which the teacher's role is

structured in your district and whether the schoolis a secondary or post-secondary institution, youmay or may not be involved in the following typesof activities.

Homeroom duty.The period called "home-room" mayvary in length and purpose. Frequently,it is a period of ten minutes or so at the beginningof the day during which studerasleport to desig-nated classrooms for- the purposes of listeningto announcements, having attendance taken, orother administrative functions. In some cases, theperiod is longer, and homeroom teachers are ex-pected to use the period for guidance and counsel-ing.

More often than not, each teacher will be as-signed to a homeroom. It is a time for gettingstudents organized in preparation for the day. Ifyou are assigned to a homeroom, you need toidentify the procedures you are expected to follow,and you need to be there to ensure that all tasksare accomplished accurately and that students arequiet enough to hear the announcements.

Cafeteria duty.You may be assigned to cafe-teria duty on a daily basis. Teachers may be as-signed to this duty on a rotational basis. You may

go to lunch with one of your classes and be ex-pected to supervise those students only, or youmay have no assigned duties in this area. But, ifyou have cafeteria duty, you need to be there andyou need to enforce all school rules applying to thecafeteria. In addition, you need to know what ac-tions you are expected to take should problems_arise. For example, are students expected to returntheir trays? Are they expected to stay in their seatsor may they wander about freely? Do they need tostay until the period is over or may they leave whenthey are done? What do you do if a student cuts inon the lunch line? or.throws food?. .. or fails totake his/her tray back? You need to clarify theseconcerns before you start.

Study hall.As with cafeteria duty, you may ormay not be assigned to supervise a study hall.Study halls may include several teachers and 250.students in an auditorium or a single teacher and20 students in a regular classroom. They vary inlength from 15 minutes to a full class period ormore. Ideally, a study hall is time provided for stu-dents to work on homework assignments or pre-pare for upcoming classes. In reality, study hallsare often an administrative device to give studentsan aeeigned place to go during those times whenthey have no scheduled classes.

It is, in fact, difficult to turn, a 15-minute period inthe auditorium with 250 students into a "studyhall." For this reason, it is essential that you knowadministrative policies regarding student activitiesduring study halls. Are students required to bringschoolwork to study hall, or may they read maga-zines? May they converse quietly, or are they ex-_pected to maintain absolute silence? May studentsleave study hall? For what reasons? ... Mustthey have a note authorizing this? If a studentmisbehaves, what are you expected to do

Detention hallDetention hall is usually heldafter school. Students who have broken rules orfailed to meet their obligations are required to re-main after school as punishment. Having a singledetention hall with one teacher (or administrator)supervising takes the burden of responsibility offof individual teachers. Normally, this duty is -as-signed on a rotational basis. Because the studentsassigned to detention hall usually have problemsto begin with (or they wouldn't be in detentionhall), you must be very sure of what rules governyour handling of this duty.

Bus duty.This duty is also usually assigned ona rotational basis. Exact procedures may vary, butbasically you are expected to make sure that stu-dents get on the buses, not under their wheels.

Advising clubs. Because most vocationalteachers are involved with student vocational or-

ganiiations,1 they have valuable expertise w'chthey can use in serving as advisors for other non-vocational' clubs and organizations. You may beasked to assist another teacher in organizing aclub, or you may be required (or encouraged) tosponsor a club of your own.

You could consider helping .an existing club inyourareas'otexpertise (e.g., parliamentary proce-dure, public relatiohs, contests, record keeping,etc.), or starting a new club in one of your areas ofinterest (horticulture, photography, geology, hamradios, gourmet cooking, etc.). This can be an ex-cellent device for involving nonvocational stu-dents in vocationally-oriented activities and in-creasing their awareness of (and interest in) voca-tional education.

Chaperoning school functions.Usually thesefunctions are held after schobl and chaperonesare-recruited on a voluntary basis. Often, it is theresponsibility of the students involved (e.g., thesenior class officers) to get their own quota ofchaperones (e.g., two parents, two teachers). ifteachers share these responsibilities, then no oneteacher is overburdened, students have oppor-tunities to participateinmorthwhile activities, andyou have a chance to get to know your clients (thestudents) in a social setting.

Depending on the needs of your school, dutiesother than those mentioned may be assigned. Forexample, your district may require all teachers toattend and.participate in monthly Parent-Teacheretssociation (PTA) meetings, or to participate incommencement exercises. No matter what dutiesyou are assigned, however, what is critical is thatyou fulfill these responsibilities fully according toestablished procedures.

Another duty that all teachers in a school systemshould be willing to share, whether required to ornot, is the orientation of teachers who are new toteaching or new to tne school. New teachers aretypically oriented by the administrators in pre-school workshops, but this is not enough. Notwo-day workshop can begin to cover the kinds ofunfamiliar situations the nev: teacher will en-counter.

You have a responsibility to your profession andto your school to help novice teachers ac',just totheir new roles and become quality educators.This need not be a burdensome task. Simply givinga new teacher a tour of the building, explainingday-to-day procedures to him or her, includingnew teachers in your conversations in the teach-ers' lounge, or being available and willing to an-

swer questions or offer advice is usually all that isneeded.

Vocational teachers have an additional duty tothe incoming nonvocational teacher who mayknow very "little about vocational education andits contribution to the total educational program.As a vocational teacher, you Iran orient these newteachers to vocational education by explaining theprogram, describing its place in the school systemand the community, and inviting them to visit yourlaboratory.

At various times, teachers may be asked to workon pertinent school activities as a part of a team orcommittee involving persons from both the schooland the community. These activities may include awide rarige of projects or duties such as planningfor school evaluations, new facilities, or curricu-lum changes. As part of such a team, your respon-sibilities will probably include assisting the team toidentify the problems to consider, offering possiblesolutions, and helping to prepare a team report. Byserving on such teams, you can help the school bycontributing your own special expertise and helpyourself by ensuring that your instructional needsare considered.

Finally, vocational teachers may have specialexpertise that can be of value to the community.Within reasonable limits of time and energy, youshould be willing to serve the community in whichyou work. The options for serving are unlimited. Abusiness and office education teacher could offerto do the bookkeeping for a charitable organiza-tion. A trade and industrial education teachercould assist in building the sets for a local littletheatre group. The horticulture teacher could pro-

vide a landscape design for a community youthcenter. The home economics education teachercould make a presentation to a group of seniorcitizens on their special dietary and nutritionalneeds. A teacher in a particular service area maybe asked to serve as a consultant on a communityproject involving his or her area of experience.Your willingness to provide such services can havea very positive effect on the quality of the overallschool-community relations?

In short, the vocational teacher, as a member ofthe education team, has many professional re-spinsibilities; apart from his or her instructionalduties. The professional teacher will accept andcarry out these responsibilities to the school andthe community, realizing that such activities willimprove school-community relations, contributeto professional development, and ultimately resultin improved student learning and development.

To get a more exact picture of how teachers provide service to the schooland community, you may wish to arrange through your resource person tointerview an experienced vocational teacher. You may structure the inter-view around certain key questions, e.g.,

What extracurricular or noninstructional duties dces he or she have?How are these duties assigned?What procedures govern the handling of these duties?In what ways has he or she served the community?In what ways has he or she assisted in orienting new teachers?

You may wish to meet with a group of two or more peers in your ownservice area. During this meeting, you could conduct a brainstormingsession to generate a list of ways in which teachers in your vocationalservice area could use their expertise to serve the community.

The following items check your comprehension of the material in theinformation sheet, Serving the School and Community, pp. 6-9. Each ofthe five items requires a short essay-type response. Please explain fully, butbriefly, and make sure you respond to all parts of each item.

SELF-CHECK1. Explain how the service yc u provide to the school and community ultimately benefits your students.

2. Assume you hrt.se signed a contract to start teaching in a particular school. Try to imagine how youwould feel in that new situation. In terms of your ind:vidual needs and axperience, what could theveteran teachers in that school do to h6lp you adjust to this new situation?

3. If yet. are new to a particular school, how can you make sure that members of the community knowthat you are willing to serve the community in your area of expertise?

4. Drawing on your educational experiences to date, consider the opportunities for providing service(i.e., accepting responsibility for noninstructional duties) in two different settings. (1) a scho.): whichis highly structured and traditicnal, and (2) a school which is more loosely structured and in whichstudents are given more responsibility for their education. How would the opportunities for service inthese two settings d!ffer?

Compare your written responses on the Self-Check with the Model An-swers given below. Your responses need not exactly duplicate the modelresponses; however, you shid have covered the same major points.

MODEL ANSWERS1. If you as a teacher define your professional

responsibilities to include service to the schooland community, students benefit in a varietyof ways. Working on community projects canincrease your occupational skills, improveschool-community relations, and, help you tounderstand more fully the community in whichyou are working. For example, by assisting alittle theatre group in building sets fora play youcould gain experience which you could draw onto help students in building sets for a schoolplay. While working with the little theatre group,you could also have opportunities to explainthe vocational program or promote an upcom-ing vocational event. If this promotion results inincreased community support of the program(e.g., approving a bond issue) or of an event(e.g., candy sale),.students benefit.

Working with students in extracurricular ac-tivities as advisor, sponsor, or chaperone canincrease your awareness of students' needs,interests, and abilities. In addition, by being will-ing to sponsor these activities, you are provid-ing opportunities for students to be involvedin additional learning and leadership experi-ences.

Taking the time to orient new teachers to yourschool can help ensure that these teachers be-come confident, competent, organized mem-bers of the teaching staffwith obvious bene-fits to the students.

Finally, participating in projects involvingteams of persons from the school and thecommunity (e.g., a school evaluation) can re-sult in the identification and solution of schoolrelated problems, thus providing an improvedlearning environment for students.

2. Although this question asks you to consideryour own personal needs as a new teacher,there are some general requirements you couldhave touched on. As a new teacher you wouldprobably feel insecure in this setting, and wouldappreciate gestures of friendship from otherteachers: being introduced to other faculty,being included in conversations, having some-

one show you around the building or make aneffort to see that you get to a teachers' meeting,and in general being made to feel a part of theteam.

In addition, although your administrator mayprovide you with a thorough definition ofschool rules and procedures, most organiza-tions depend heavily on unwritten policies.Therefore, it would be very helpful if an experi-enced teacher took the time to explain that, forexample, you could get your tests typed andduplicated by students in the business andoffice program.

An experienced teacher can also assist you bybeing available and willing to answer yourquestions related to instruction, policies, andproblems that arise in the course of your duties.Finally, if you are interested in being involvedin community projects, veteran teachers canprobably be of great help in informing you as toopportunities for service. Again, based on yourown experiences and needs, your answer tothis question may vary.

3. As briefly mentioned in the second model an-swer, one way to locate opportunities for ser-vice in the community is tc discuss availableoptions with other, more experienced teachersin the school. Administrators, guidance per-sonnel, and vocational supervisors may alsohave suggestions. By discussing your interestin serving the community with these other staffmembers, you can get ideas as to possible op-portunities for service. In addition, if at a latertime someone in the community contacts oneof these persons with a request for assistancethat relates to your area, they will know yo,. arewilling to have that request passed on to you.

Getting involved in community organizationsyourself opens up another avenue for locatingways to provide service. For example, if youdecide to join the Kiwanis Club, your involve-ment in that club may make you aware of needsin that club or in the community that you couldbe of assistance in meeting.

4. In a school_ which is highly structured and tra-ditional, you would probably find more strictlydefined procedures and.policies that both youand your students are expected to follow. Forexample, school rules might spell out in detailhow students are expected to behave duringstudy hall, and how.the.teacher supervisingthestudy hall is to handle various disciplinary prob-lems that could arise. Your assignments tononinstructional and extracurricular activitieswould no doubt be straightforward and clear-cut.

For example, you might not have a real choiceabout whether to be a class advisor or achaperone, and your responsibilities in fulfill-ing these duties would probably be predeter-mined by school policy. As an advisor to a stu-dent organization or a supervisor of variousstudent-activities in a traditional school, youwould probably be expected to put in moresupervisory time, take more responsibility forseeingthat things run smoothly.

In other words, although you will have optionsfor service in a traditional school setting, theseoptions will be available within the existingframework, a framework you may not have hadmuch to do with developing.

In a post-secondary institution or more looselystructured secondary school setting, on theother hand, you could expect more flexibility in

procedures, policies, and assignment's. Be-cause students are expected to take more re-sponsibility for their own learning and conduct,your role would be more advisory than super-visory, and you and your students would havefewer set guidelines for handling various re-sponsibilities, (o problems-that might arise).You might also have more options for initiatingextracurricular activities and/or m;ni-coursesin a school with flexible scheduling.

Thus, the more loosely structured school wouldprobably give you broader decision-makingpowers in determining ways to serve theschool, and how to do so. For this reason, youwould need to be careful to take your fair shareof responsibility for noninstructional dutiesinother words, to refrain from alldwing this free-dom to lower your sense of professional-re-sponsibility.

5. There is no model answer for this item; how-ever, you should have identified a number andvariety of duties you could-ould assume. If you have agreat number of duties listed, then perhaps youneed to reconsider how much one teacher canbe reasonably expected to do. If you have listedonly one or two options, you probably have notconsidered what it means to do youy fair shareor how your particular skills can be used innoninstructional areas.

me. Hamilton had brought Mike by Ralph's roomthe first day of school during new teacher orienta-tion and asked him to take Mike under his wingduring his first year of teaching. Ralph had done soenthusiastically. He remembered how hard it hadbeen for him to learn the ropes his first year, howmany mistakes he'd made because no one hadtaught him the shortcuts and how things werereally done at the school.

Mike_explained that he'd run out of paper half-way through duplicating the tests for his first class,couldn't find any more paper, and thought themachine..was actingAtp..Ralph.toldhinwhere thepaper was kept, then suggested he ask Mr. Handy,the business and office teacher, about themachine. When Mike indicated he didn't knowwho Mr. Handy was or where to find him, Ralphoffered to go with Mike to get the paper and lookat the machine. Mike was concerned about tak-ing Ralph away from his homeroom, but Ralphexplained that it was no problem; it was justhomeroom and he was glad to get out of it. Heassigned a student who was standing near thefront.of the room to finish taking attendance, andwent off with Mike.

On the way to his first class, Ralph ran into Mr.Hamilton who reminded him about the Teen Cen-ter planning meeting to be held at four that after-noon. Ralph was looking forward to that meeting,and the whole project. One of the community ser-vice clubs was promoting a Teen Center, and hadasked Mr. Hamilton to get a couple of vocationalteachers to serve as a committee, to help them planthe facility. This was right up his alley; he was reallyexcited about some ideas he had for an open de-sign. He wee thinking about getting some of hisstudents involved, maybe as an extra credit proj-ect. This was also the kind of project Mike could

contribute a lot to. He'd be able to talk to hirri about..it at lunch since they viiere4on cafeteriaduty t6;.,gather.

He didn't mind helping out withthe Teen Center. That was his field; both he and hisstudentstouldget a lot out of the experielce, notto mention the good it would do for the commu-nity. Buthe.was sick and tired. of being asked totake on duties that took time and energy awayfromhis teaching responsibilities.

'He'd had a terrible time talking Mr. Hamilton outof that work with the student council. Mr. Hamiltonand the student council' advisor had wanted

He noticed -that the principal's column in thebulletin was devoted to,preliminary plans for theupcoming evaluation of the school's vocationaleducation programs.

went along with serving on a team like that. Let theadministration do the formal work, ask him for hissuggestions, and then leave him alone to concen-trate on the business of teaching.

The rest of the morning went smoothly. Ralphwasson his wayto his cafeteria duty when one of hisbrighter students came up and asked if he coulddiscust a problem he'd encountered with his indi-vidual project. Ralph, who was always willing totake time to help his students, took the student intohisOffice for a conference.

After classes that day,Ralph stopped by theteachers' lounge for a cup of coffee before the

Teen Center planning meeting. Mike Newcomewas just finishing a cup of coffee, and popping thelast bite of a donut in hismouth. He indicated thathe'd encountered a problem on cafeteria dutywhich had taken him into his own lunch hour, so hehadn't had time to eat. He said he hadn't been surewhat he was supposed to do in that particularsituation. Ralph commiserated with Mike aboutwhat a drag cafeteria duty was, then told him aboutthe Teen Center and persuaded him to come alongto the planning meeting. Mike was eager to help,and the two went off having an animated discus-sion about the open design concept....

Compare your completed Nritten-critique of the Case Study with the ModelCritiquagiven below. Your response need not exactly duplicate the modelresponse; however, you should have covered the same major points.

. _

MODEL CRITIQUE

Mr. Nicolosi apparently is an enthusiastic, moti-vated teacher who takes his professional respon-sibilities seriously. Unfortunately, his definition ofthose responsibilitiet is much too limited.

A case in point is his handling of his responsibil-ity in orienting Mike Newcome to the school. Heaccepted this task readily, and seemed willing tospend time with the new teacher. But his definitionof easing Mike's first year of teaching involvedteaching him "shortcuts" and ways to get aroundthe system. Thus, his orientation was evidently notvery thorough and organizedMike apparentlywas not given a tour of the facilities or introducedto other faculty and staff, or he would have knownwhere the paper supplies were kept, who Mr.Handy was, and where to find him.

By the same token, instead of clarifying schoolpolicies and regulations for Mike and then follow-ing those policies himself, he sets a very poor ex-ample in his handling of noninstructional activities,such.as homeroom- and cafeteria duty. He seessuch duties as annoying infringements on his pro-fessional time, rather than as part of his pro-fessional responsibility to maintain a smooth-run-ning, organized school operation. Thus, he leaveshis homeroom unattended, entrusts attendance-taking to the first student he sees, and completelyneglects his cafeteria duty.

His willingness to help his student with a classproject is commendable, but the new teachershould not have been left to handle the cafeteriaduty alone. In an emergency, Mr. Nicolosi couldhave found someone to cover his assignment, butthis was not an emergency. Mike clearly did notknow what was expected of him. Instead of askinghim what problem had been encountered, andthen explaining school policy in this situation, Mr.Nicolosi reinforces the idea that noninstructionalduties are unimportant, unrelated to the teachingrole, and to be avoided if at al: possible.

This negative attitude shows up again in his re-luctance to work with a nonvocational student or-ganization. In this case, he fails to recognize thepossibilities for providing a valuable leadershipexperience for his student vocational organizationmembers, increasing understanding.between vo-cational and nonvocational students, and assist-ing a fellow teacher (the student council advisdr)in performing an important function. Instead, heheaped more work on another teacher, Ms. Field,and once again failed to take on his fair share ofthe school's non-classroom activities.

Mr. Nicolosi's limited definition of his profes-sional responsibilities is perhaps best revealedin his attitude toward working with the self-evaluation team for the vocational program. Hesays he recognizes the importance of programevaluation, yet he treats this task as just one morenoninstructional duty to be avoided. He misses thepoint of ty.tving the .faculty, administration, stu-dents, a:id advisory committee work togethen_and'the pr ssible benefits to the classroom instructionhe is constantly saying is his primary concern.

As mentioned earlier, however, Mr. Nicolosidoes care about his students and his instructionalactivities. He throws himself wholeheartedly intoplanning the Teen Center, showing concern for thebenefits to (1) his students' learning, (2) his ownprofessional development, and (3) the communityas a whole. In addition, he involved a fellow teacherin this school-community activity, thus providingan opportunity for Mike to serve community needswhile developing his professional expertise.

All in all, although Mr. Nicolosi's attitude andperformance is highly professional as regards hisinEtniotional activities and occupational area, hisattitude toward and handling of noninstructionaland extracurricular responsibilities leaves much tobe desired.

ABOUT USING THE CENTER'S PBTEMODULES

OrganizationEach module is designed-to help you gain competencyin a particular skill area considered important to teach-ing success. A module is made up of a series of learningexperiences, some providing background informatioo,some providing practice experiences, and others com-bining these two functions. Completing these experi-ences should enable you to achieve the terminal objec-tive in the final learning experience. The final arleriencein each module always requires you to demonstrate theskill in an actual school situation when you are an intern,-a student teacher, or an inservice teacher:

ProceduresModules are designed to allow you to individualize yourteacher education program. You need to take only thosemodules covering skills wlfch you do not already pos-sess. Similarly, you need not complete any learning ex-perience within a module if you already have the skillneeded to complete it. Therefore, before taking anymodule, you should ,arefully review (1) the Introduction,(2) the Objectives listed on p. 4, (3) the Overviews pre-ceding each learning experience, and (4) the Final Ex-perience. After comparing your present needs and com-petencies with the information you have read in thesesections, you should be ready to make one of the follow-ing decisions:

that you do not have the competencies indicated,and should complete the entire modulethat you are competent in one or more of the en-abling.objectivesieading_to the final learningax-perience, and thus can omit that (those) learningexperience(s)that you are already competent in this area, andready to complete the final learning experience inorder to "test out"that the module is inappropriate to your needs atthis time

When you are ready to take the final learning experienceand have access to an actual school situation, make thenecessary arrangements with your resource person. Ifyou do not complete the final experience successfully,meet with your resource person and arrange (1) to re-peat the experience, or (2) complete (or review) previoussections of the module or other related activitiessuggested byyour resource person before attempting torepeat the final experience.-Options for recycling are also available in each of thelearning experiences preceding the final experience.Any time you do not meet the minimum level of perfor-mance required to meet an objective, you and your re-source person may meet to select activities to help youreach competency. This could involve (1) completingparts of the module previously skipped; (2) repeatingactivities; (3) reading supplementary resources or com-pleting additional activities suggested by the resourceperson; (4) designing your own learning experience; or(5) completing some other activity suggested by you oryour resource person.
