Abstract
In this paper, the author describes a viable and effective strategy for transforming subject matter experts into licensed secondary level career and technical education (CTE) teachers. The strategy is proposed as a short-term element that could become an integral part of a long-term solution to address the shortage of CTE teachers in the United States and to improve the standard of vocational education through quality teaching. This three-pronged strategy, the ‘virtual teacher training centre’, combines new sources of potential teachers (subject matter specialists from the workforce), new ways of preparing them for the classroom (practical, experiential, reflective, and inquiry-based), and new technologies to deliver educational training (web-based delivery).
