Jim Knight urges teachers to humanize the classroom

Article Abstract:

Teachers are urged to develop a deeper relationship with their students and learn more about them since this manner will encourage students and boost their self-esteem. Such approach will then help them achieve their highest potential in classroom. In addition, teachers are encouraged to avoid gender discrimination since it hinders effective learning among students. This was revealed by a former agriculture teacher who is now a consultant on sex equity issues. He holds workshops aimed at improving vocational education and promoting effective learning.

VEEC: equity professionals

Article Abstract:

Vocational Education Equity Council (VEEC) is a national organization composed of sex equity administrators which aims to promote equality in educational opportunities for both male and female students. It was formed in 1978 when the Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education Act amendment which supports the employment of sex equity coordinators for every state was mandated in 1976. Now, in the 1990's, VEEC faces the challenge of meeting the changing needs of students and of vocational education itself.
