Abstract

Article examining the effects of the federal No Child Left Behind Act on vocational education in Maine, noting that an increased emphasis on quantifiable academics may overshadow hands-on learning. Even without the impact of No Child Left Behind, state vocational programs are feeling a pinch for a number of reasons, primarily declining enrollments. With a focus on comments by John Stivers, Maine's curriculum development coordinator for career and technical education; Lynwood Turcotte, founder of the Skowhegan Regional Vocational Center; and Diane Bauby from Portland Arts and Technology High School.
