Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the professional preparation of secondary health education teachers in Mississippi. All four-year institutions of higher learning were contacted to determine the requirements for an approved program in order to obtain a supplemental endorsement in health, to compare the similarities and differences, and to determine the extent to which the approved programs reflect the ten content areas of the Mississippi Comprehensive Health Framework. This study also examined the status of secondary school health education programs in Mississippi by utilizing selected data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2008 School Health Profiles Study and the 2006 School Health Policies and Programs Study (SHPPS). The findings of this study revealed that eight of Mississippi's four-year institutions offer an approved program for a supplemental endorsement in health. For all eight of these institutions, 12 credit hours are required. Most of these institutions require a semester course in first aid or emergency health care as well as drug abuse, family living, and a methods-of-teaching health course. Only three institutions required or offered as an option a course in human sexuality or sex education. Only one institution required a course on the health benefits of physical activity and only one institution offered as an option a course in nutrition. Upon evaluation of the course content of the eight approved programs to the ten content areas of the Mississippi Comprehensive Health Framework, human growth and development was the content area least covered followed by nutrition. Although the total semester hours required by the approved programs for a health endorsement in Mississippi are well below the semester hours required for an endorsement in other academic areas, the CDC data for Mississippi reported that 87 to 94 percent of the lead health education teachers in Mississippi are certified. According to the CDC data, Mississippi does have specified time requirements for health instruction at the high school level and does provide schools with a curriculum and instructional tools recommended by the CDC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special education teachers, as a significant segment of the teaching profession, came into their own with the passage of Public Law 94-142, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, in 1975. Since then, although the number of special education teachers has grown substantially it has not kept pace with the demand for their services and expertise. The roles and practice of special education teachers have continuously evolved as the complexity of struggling learners unfolded, along with the quest for how best to serve and improve outcomes for this diverse group of students. High-Leverage Practices in Special Education defines the activities that all special educators needed to be able to use in their classrooms, from Day One. HLPs are organized around four aspects of practice collaboration, assessment, social/emotional/behavioral practices, and instruction because special education teachers enact practices in these areas in integrated and reciprocal ways. The HLP Writing Team is a collaborative effort of the Council for Exceptional Children, its Teacher Education Division, and the CEEDAR Center; its members include practitioners, scholars, researchers, teacher preparation faculty, and education advocates--Amazon.com

This book was released on 2007 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secondary vocational-technical education programs in Mississippi are faced with many challenges resulting from sweeping educational reforms at the national and state levels. Schools and teachers are increasingly being held accountable for providing true learning activities to every student in the classroom. This accountability is measured through increased requirements for mastery and attainment of competency as documented through both formative and summative assessments. The courses in this document reflect the statutory requirements as found in Section 37-3-49, Mississippi Code of 1972, as amended (Section 37-3-46). In addition, this curriculum reflects guidelines imposed by federal and state mandates (Laws, 1988, ch. 487, Section 14; Laws, 1991, ch. 423, Section 1; Laws, 1992, ch. 519, Section 4 effective from and after July 1, 1992; Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education Act IV, 2007; and No Child Left Behind Act of 2001). Health Sciences is a pathway of courses for students in the Health Sciences career cluster. The Health Sciences pathway includes classroom and hands-on experiences that will provide students with an overview of the health-care field as outlined in the States' Career Clusters Health Science Cluster and the National Consortium on Health Science and Technology Education as well as begin to prepare students for careers in occupations predicted to have a high number of available jobs in the next 10 years including registered nurses, nurse aides, practical nurses, and home health aides. Appended are: (1) 21st Century Skills Standards; (2) Mississippi Academic Standards; (3) ACT College Readiness Standards; (4) National Industry Standards; and (5) National Educational Technology Standards for Students.
