Product Description
An in-depth investigation into career-related programmes in American secondary schools and two-year further education colleges is given in this book. In addition to reviewing evidence on the effectiveness of vocational coursework, the authors analyse programmes involving students who study and work simultaneously, including co-operative education, youth apprenticeship and school-based enterprise.; Chapters deal with the problems encountered in the school-to-work transition: the preparation necessary not only for this transition but for changes encountered when jobs end abruptly, and issues covered include combining school-based and work-based learning and teaching and linking secondary with post- secondary education. Research on programmes involving students simultaneously working and at school, including non-school-supervised employment is also covered, as is co-operative education, which places students in jobs related to their fields of study. The traditional elements of post-school education and training are discussed together with an investigation into newer approaches including career academics and career magnet schools and programmes bridging secondary and post secondary education. Additionally, selected studies of programmes for out- of-school youth are reviewed.; To conclude, the authors consider new school-to-work systems and whether specially designed programmes for the "non-college-bound" students would be stigmatised as second best, or if an alternative programme could maintain an option for students to attend four year colleges and universities, the latter making the design and operation of school-to-work systems more difficult. Of interest to administrators, teachers, policy makers, analysts and employers, the findings in this book will shed light on the viability of new school-to- work initiatives currently being implemented in the UK, Europe and USA. ...

Pleasant
It was helpful like some parts were useful and other parts wasn't but it useful and gives u an idea of the test which is very helful

CHP
I didn't see any answers on the test that were in the book. If you're serious about joining the CHP you should do all you can to get in (including buying a book to help study), but I wouldn't go as far as to say this book helped me "cheat", or helped in any other way than giving me confidence

Simple, Concise, and Accurate
The title of my review says it all about this book.This book is a very good planning tool for talking the CHP exam...I am confident that I will be able to make my 70, with no problem whatsoever.

Goodluck

The test was MUCH easier!
This book scared me, I was terrified to take the CHP exam, but the book overstates the test difficulty. Most helpful portions were the grammar portion (teaches you what to look for and the format of the questions) and the background check.If you are concerned about your review BUY THIS BOOK.otherwise think back to your highschool SAT and breathe a sigh of relief, its not that hard.

Made the difference between "PASS" and "FAIL"
This book was a tremendous help to prepare for the CHP test.The tests provided were very similar to the ones on the actual test.The whole study program outlined in the book was excellent.All the information provided was very helpful in my success in passing the test on the first try. I would highly recommend this book to anyone thinking about taking the CHP test.Thanks for the help. ... Read more

Product Description
School-to-career (STC) programs, which integrate academic education and vocational skills training, seek to improve the transitions of young people from school to work. The School-to-Work Opportunities Act (STWOA), passed by Congress in 1994, provided more than $1.5 billion over a five-year period to support increased school-to-work activities in the nation’s public high schools. However, after its initial five years, STWOA was not reauthorized. In this report, the author uses a national dataset to measure the success of various programs (including Tech Prep and Career Academies, which differ from the STWOA activities). He finds that certain STC activities do promote postsecondary enrollment and employment and that a case can be made for funding the types of programs supported by STWOA. However, he also notes that there is a pressing need for a serious evaluation of the effectiveness of the specific activities remaining in California and of any that might arise in the future. ...

Product Description

/*0205458092, Boosalis, Beating the CSET!, 1e*/Beating the CSET! will help both pre-service and practicing teachers in California pass the CSET Multiple Subjects Subtests I - III.Because passing the CSET Multiple Subjects test is now required for an elementary credential in California, this new text has been designed to address the essential time-management methods, essay and multiple-choice strategies, and content that test takers must master in order to passSubtests One through Three of the exam. Unlike other preparation books, this text does not simply offer a copy of MSAT materials. Instead, the content, constructed-response and multiple-choice strategies, and special time-management models for the tests are all research based and tailored to CSET Multiple Subject content in great detail.

Worth the Time and Money
After perusing several reader's reviews of the various CSET test preparation books, I settled on Beating the CSET! and was not disappointed. By the time I received the book, I only had a little over 3 weeks to prepare for the exam. I spent that time poring over this book, reviewing the sample questions, and highlighting and tabbing the content. I also took a CSET test prep course over two Friday evenings plus two full Saturdays. I was concerned about the math/science portion of the exam, since I sort of blanked out on the geometry section (especially the geometry constructed-response questions).However, I took all 3 CSET exams in one sitting and passed them all.I highly recommend this book. I still have it in my library to review any content that is unclear to me.So, well worth the time and money!

Bare minimum
While the book helped me brush up on some basics, practically the entire California history section was a copy-paste from earlier history parts. Speaking only to the Social Sciences section, it did not prepare me at all for the real test. I'd suggest this book as a starting point only.

DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!
This is not a good book to study with. IT has waaaaayy too much unneccessary information that you will never remember. The math section goes beyond what you need to know for the cset. The only part I found helpful was the test taking strategies and time management charts. The Cliff's notes CSET book isA LOT better. There is an outline for each section and two practice tests. There are practice math problems as well. Much easier book to understand.

Very indepth
This book had a lot of info and I am still studying the language section.This book has no sample tests, which I don't really mind because it is easy to find sample CSET tests online.The first few sections are tips and stratagies for test taking and then it gets into content.I haven't taken the test yet but I am hopeful that this book will help me pass.

A good book

This is really the best out there?
I've heard from many professors that this is the best book out there on classroom management. I hope that's not true. While he does have good suggestions, it feels like most of them are aimed at elementary school. The book is put together like a comic book and has a jumbled, rambling feel to it. The first half of the book is a waste of time and the second half is so-so. Check to see if there is a copy at your local library before you buy this because you'll more than likely be disappointed. Wong may be the so-called expert but it's hard to believe that after reading this.

Just better than four stars.
I was a bit uncertain when it came to allocating stars to this book; it's not a solid, unquestionable five star effort, but it was just too good to leave it at four stars. My objections, which almost cost it a star in its ratings, is that the authors have a tendancy to overstate their case on occasion, as when they discuss the value of teachers having positive expectations of their students. They say, in almost so many words, that whatver you expect of your students, that's what you'll get. Now, I fully believe that it is better to have high expectations than low ones, and that students whose teachers have high expectations of them will, in general, do better than those whose teachers have low expectations. But there is such a thing as unreasonably high expectations; if I go into a Kindergarden class expecting that every student in the class will be able to do differential Calculus by the end of the year, that is an unrealistic expectation, and one that is likely to produce nothing but frustration for me and my class. Granted, it is sometimes difficult to tell what expectation is reasonable and those expectations that are standard may well be too low in many cases. But "you will get whatever you expect from your students" ranks right up there with idea that you can self-hypnotize yourself into believing that you can fly, and then all you need to do is flap your arms hard enough and you'll be airborne. And when they discuss the study that supports their claim that expectations are all-important, they spend over two pages detailing the study and its results, and just three throw-away words that essentially invalidate it: "Following the original study, many additional studies have been undertaken. Some have been able to replicate the findings, while OTHERS HAVE NOT." (emphasis added)

Still, having said all of that, I do feel that this book is extremely valuable and has a wealth of good advice for the new teacher as well as the experienced teacher struggling to succeed. If Harry Wong occasionally gets carried away by his own enthusiasm and exaggerates his claims, it's in a good cause, and the errors are mostly errors of exaggeration, not qualitatively wrongheaded. I fully believe that 90% of what this book has to offer is golden, and of the remaining 10%, at least half is no worse than questionable.

Teacher's right hand
I love this book! I can't imagine being a teacher without having this at my fingertips. It has a lot of great ideas for classroom management as a vast amount of ideas for a new or experienced teacher! I would recommend it to anyone who is teaching or planning to teach.

The First Days of School
This is a must have read for all beginning teachers and really quite good for veteran teachers.

Not a bad book for the first teacher but still leaves something to be desired...
I bought this book before going overseas to teach English. I had never taught before and thought the advice would be useful.

The advice is useful, but most of it is common sense: Don't let the kids get out of control and establish rules the first day; say "hello" to your students everyday; be prepared; etc.

If you reallyare at a loss for teaching and have no experience with kids than yes, get this book. It's wonderfully laid out and even funny at times. But if you are teaching, skip it.

But you don't have to take my word for it. ... Read more
