Description:
This paper explains that schools across the nation have found that the integration of academic and vocational/technical education is extraordinarily difficult because, even in its most elementary form, teachers must deviate from customary instructional methods. Next, the author reviews the history of this educational movement, the need for
curricular and pedagogical reforms and the lack of progress. The paper suggests the important of teacher collaboration and investigates various types of school transition reforms and models; however, the author believes that the Tech Prep programs in Massachusetts are the best examples of progress towards this integration.

From the Paper:
"In 1907, Theodore Roosevelt urged major school reform that would provide industrial education in urban centers and agriculture education in rural areas. The American Federation of Labor (AFL), a group who had long opposed such programs on the basis they were discriminatory, formed a union with the National Association of Manufactures (NAM), a group who promoted the instruction of trade in schools. In 1910, this became a powerful alliance that supported federal funding for vocational education."Sample of Sources Used:
