His teachings became the basis
of the manual arts movement in
America.
Philosophy - Mental training should
be the major emphasis rather than
a mere knowledge of facts.

Father of the Sloyd system of education.
Prepared by Dale Moon, CTE Regional Coordinator, Region 4 (Linn & Benton counties)


Sloyd differed from other forms of manual
training in its adherence to a set of distinct
pedagogical principles.
These were:


that instruction should move from the known to the
unknown,
from the easy to the more difficult,
Prepared by Dale Moon, CTE Regional Coordinator,
Region 4 (Linn & Benton counties)
•
•
•
from the simple to the more complex,
from the concrete to the abstract
and the products made in sloyd should be practical in
nature and build the relationship between home and
school.
(sound like rigor and relevance?)

The most recent Report to Congress on the Carl
D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act
revealed that approximately 14 million
students participated in secondary and
postsecondary CTE programs during the 20072008 school year.
Prepared by Dale Moon, CTE Regional Coordinator,
Region 4 (Linn & Benton counties)

According to the U.S. Department of
Education’s Office of Vocational and Adult
Education (OVAE), almost all high school
students take at least one CTE course, and one
in four students take three or more courses in a
single program area. One-third of college
students are involved in CTE programs, and as
many as 40 million adults engage in short-term
postsecondary occupational training.


A ratio of one CTE class for every two
academic classes minimizes the risk of students
dropping out of high school. (Plank et al,
“Dropping Out of High School and the Place of
Career and Technical Education,” 2005.)
Prepared by Dale Moon, CTE Regional Coordinator,
Region 4 (Linn & Benton counties)

81 percent of dropouts said that “more realworld learning” may have influenced them to
stay in school. (Bridgeland et al, “The Silent
Epidemic,” 2005.)

Region 4 (Linn & Benton counties)

The more students participate in CTSO
activities, the higher their academic motivation,
academic engagement, grades, career selfefficacy and college aspirations. (Alfeld et al,
“Looking Inside the Black Box: The Value
Added by Career and Technical Student
Organizations to Students’ High School
Experience,” 2007.)
Prepared by Dale Moon, CTE Regional Coordinator,
Region 4 (Linn & Benton counties)

Students who complete a rigorous academic
core coupled with a career concentration have
test scores that equal or exceed “college prep”
students. These dual-concentrators are more
likely to pursue postsecondary education, have
a higher grade point average in college and are
less likely to drop out in the first year.

About High School Career/Technical
Studies.”)


A person with a CTE-related associate degree or
credential will earn an average of between $5,000
and $15,000 more a year than a person with a
humanities or social sciences associate degree—and
those with credentials in high-demand fields such as
healthcare can average almost $20,000 more a year.

of Low-Income Students by Increasing Their
Educational Attainment,” 2009.)


According to the state of Washington, for every
dollar spent on secondary CTE students, federal and
state governments will receive seven dollars back in
social security, Medicare, and federal and state taxes.
