Abstract	Vocational teachers for industrial and health occupations programs are usually recruited and selected directly from industry based upon their work experience, craft skills, and other technical criteria. This procedure provides schools with technically competent instructors who have little idea of how to teach. The certification requirements of most states permit training to take place after the teacher is put into the shop or classroom, almost assuring a poor start, teacher frustration, and the possible development of negative teacher behaviors. The new non-degree vocational teacher also faces inflexible university course schedules and rigid enrollment policies. To remedy this problem, Dade County Public Schools in Florida, the Florida State Department of Education, and Florida International University developed and implemented a Performance Based Vocational Teacher Education Program as an alternative to the traditional method of training and providing teacher certification for non-degree vocational teachers. The needs, purpose, and objectives of the program are discussed. Components of the program, including field experience, instruction, evaluation, on-the-job supervision, and certification, are described. Appended are charts that match course content with Dade County program competencies and with Florida Essential Generic Competencies. (MT)
