This book was released on 2005 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report of the Pacific Regional Advisory Committee (RAC) provides an assessment of the technical assistance needs of educators in the Pacific region in response to a directive from the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education (ED). This information will be used to assist in the establishment of 20 comprehensive centers providing technical assistance to regional, state, and local educational agencies and schools in implementing the goals and programs of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act and in the use of scientifically valid teaching methods and assessment tools for use by teachers and administrators.The Pacific RAC region is composed of seven island groups: the state of Hawaii, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia (Chuuk, Kosrae, Pohnpei, and Yap), the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau, the Territory of American Samoa, and the Territory of Guam. Pacific RAC members identified five major challenges and a number of related technical assistance recommendations that would assist the Pacific Region in meeting the goals of NCLB. The RAC then identified the top priorities for federal technical assistance in the region. Members also noted that because the Pacific region comprises many islands with a range of physical facilities and technical infrastructures, it is difficult to provide communication systems and access to resources, and to integrate technology with instruction in order to support student achievement. Appended are: (1) Map of the Pacific Region; (2) Pacific Region at a glance; (3) Pacific education at a glance; (4) Public comments and feedback received by the Pacific RAC; (5) References; and (6) Biographical information about Pacific RAC members. A glossary is also included. [Report prepared by the Pacific Regional Advisory Committee.].

REL Pacific plans and conducts studies with a highly qualified set of partners, who provide them with insight on activities taking place in the Pacific region and throughout the nation that are relevant to this work, and offer support to develop studies that meet current research standards to better serve stake holders. In this brochure, REL Pacific provides information on their work, partners, and the communities REL Pacific serves. REL Pacific understands the Pacific region's unique characteristics, strengths, and challenges because they listen to stake holders and identify priority needs in the region through comprehensive reviews of education system data, interviews with education agency staff, and ongoing contact with the field, and use that information to drive research, technical assistance, and dissemination efforts. As a result of this outreach, REL Pacific has identified four overarching priority areas: (1) Strengthening Teacher Effectiveness: a focus on increasing teachers' qualifications, determining characteristics of effective teachers, and identifying the best classroom practices to impact student outcomes; (2) Engaging Families and Communities in Education: a focus on connecting schools, families, and communities to work together to support learning; (3) Ensuring Career and College Readiness: a focus on preparing students to enter the workforce or to pursue college or technical education upon exiting Pacific high schools; and (4) Optimizing Data Systems: a focus on developing, maintaining, and use using data systems effectively and efficiently.

This book was released on 2012-12-09 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the Asia-Pacific region, which in recent years has been the engine of global economic growth , this volume surveys trends and prospects in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) with particular reference to achieving inclusive growth and the greening of economies. Underlying the increasing pressure for new models of TVET provision is the rapid pace of technological change, demand for a work force which is highly responsive to evolving needs and a transforming market place that calls for higher order skills and lifelong learning. The book proposes a re-engineered, modernized TVET system that fosters an innovative approach which enhances the employability of workers as well as the sustainability of their livelihoods. The book includes contributions from leading policy makers, researchers, and practitioners, including those in the private sector in analyzing and forecasting the most urgent priorities in skills development. The book argues for creative approaches to TVET design and delivery particularly with a view to improve job prospects , and meeting the goals of inclusion, sustainable development and social cohesion. Addressing issues such as the chronic mismatches between skills acquired and actual skills required in the work place, the volume proposes diversified approaches towards workforce development and partnerships with the private sector to improve the quality and relevance of skills development . The new imperatives created by ‘greening’ economies and responses required in skills development and training are addressed. Developing TVET is a high priority for governments in the Asia Pacific region as they seek to achieve long-term sustainable growth since the .continued success of their economic destinies depend on it. The volume also includes an emerging framework for skills development for inclusive and sustainable growth in the Asia and Pacific region.

This book was released on 2011-07-23 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Asia-Pacific countries are in various stages of socio-economic development. Geo-political factors affect the pace of development of the countries in the area also referred to as the Colombo Plan region. TVET’s acknowledged importance in the efforts to improve the quality of life of its people is a common motif in the book. The twenty articles by TVET experts and practitioners as well as policy makers provide the reader researcher with a comprehensive appreciation of the respective TVET problems and issues in the countries included. The book is the latest attempt to put under one cover both macro and micro views of TVET, underscoring its current status, emerging trends, best practices and challenges that beset Individual systems. The book presents a comprehensive body of TVET information for use as a handy reference, both by serious researchers and national policymakers, also by practitioners on how TVET plays a pivotal role in national socio-economic development. The experiences shared can be models of “systems that worked,” learning from them and “avoiding the pitfalls.” They further emphasize that “no one solution fi ts all” when addressing the gamut of challenges and concerns, the resources required and the preferred mindset when implementing TVET reforms.
