graduates, co-op activities, and potential development ofcollaborative research programs. Unfortunately, adjuncts are marginalized by the academicsystems in place today; and their contributions to the academic process are undervalued. Next,the paper reports on the success story of an adjunct, a practitioner with good credentials, who“teamed-up” with a “full-time” faculty, in an attempt to bring the practice to 4 thyear students in ageotechnical/ foundation engineering class. The success achieved in meeting course objectives,as a result of practitioner’s role, was attributed, in large measure, to proper planning andcoordination that preceded course delivery. Plus, the willingness, experience and abilities of theadjunct in addressing the practice in

workplacelearning along three different dimensions: 1) location, 2) degree of planning, and 3) facilitatorrole. First, location can be either on- or off-the-job. This criterion helps distinguish experience-based learning (e.g., learning through doing) from classroom or training environments. Second,learning events can be structured or unstructured, where structured learning occurs within somekind of planned system. Last, the facilitator may be either active or passive. It is active if thefacilitator drives the learning experience (e.g., a software training program), but passive if thelearner needs to reach out to the facilitator to acquire new information (e.g., asking a coworker aquestion about a work task).Table 1: Initial categories of learning and

On the post-post-survey (n=11), a minority (36%) ofthe K-12 teachers’ responses ‘strongly agree’ or ‘agree’ that they were concerned to improvehow to teach computer science.Figure 5Teacher responses on survey question #9: “I am concerned about working to improve how CS istaught.” Each set of 3 bars from left to right represent pre, post, and post-post survey responsesrespectively.Both question items indicate that K-12 teachers tend to be concerned, at least to some degree,about teaching computer science. Potentially because of the micro-credential PD which includedsample resources such as lesson plans, flashcards, and unplugged activities these concernsdecreased

decision- 7making and curriculum planning in SSA was identified as a persistent problem [30]. Left outof curricular planning without a sense of ownership, educators feel unmotivated to implementcurricular or pedagogical reforms. The authors went on to recommend that teachers should beinvolved in the planning of curriculum, developing in the process, a sense of sharedresponsibility for its implementation and eventual success. While this recommendation isillustrated using the linear model depicted in figure 2, a separate consideration comes into placewhen foreign trainers are brought in to facilitate teacher development [35].

He had been actively involved in planning, designing, supervising, and constructing many civil engineering projects, such as roads, storm drain systems, a $70 million water supply scheme which is comprised of treatment works, hydraulic mains, access roads, and auxiliary civil works. He had developed and opti- mized many highway design schemes and models. For example, his portfolio includes a cost-effective pavement design procedure based on a mechanistic approach, in contrast to popular empirical procedures. In addition, he had been equally engaged in the study of capacity loss and maintenance implications of local and state roads (a World Bank

Which means, from January 1, 2008, the ageBoomers first started to turn 62, and then January 1, 2011, the age Boomers first started to turnage 65, we would expect to experience a significant exiting of skilled labor. This clearlyrepresents a trough in the available workforce when compared to the available backfill of GenX’ers.Restating, since January 1, 2011, someone turned 65 years of age at a rate of nearly 10,000 perday, approximately 4 million per year, until 2029.

ATLAS. This instrumentwas used in the present study to assess preferred learning strategies. An important advantage ofATLAS is that it is simple to administer and is currently the generally-accepted method formeasuring learning strategy preferences.18 Three distinct learning strategy groups wereidentified: Navigators, Problem Solvers, and Engagers.26 Navigators plan their learning andfocus on completing the necessary activities to achieve their goals. Order and structure areimportant to these learners, who tend to be logical, objective, and perfectionists. They want clearobjectives and expectations at the beginning of a course and in advance of activities, such as inan explicit and detailed syllabus and precisely defined assignments and
