Extractions: Occupational therapy is a health profession concerned with the physical and psychological rehabilitation of individuals who suffer from injury or illness, or from emotional, mental or developmental problems. In occupational therapy, rehabilitation employs the use of educational, vocational and recreational activities or "occupations". There are two career classifications in occupational therapy: occupational therapist and occupational therapy assistant. Occupational therapists work with patients who have mental and emotional, as well as physical disabilities, helping them achieve their maximum level of independent living skills. These patients have difficulty coping with tasks of daily living and are impaired by such things as developmental deficits, the aging process, poverty and cultural differences, physical injury or illness, and psychological and social disabilities. Through careful observation and evaluation, the occupational therapist develops a rehabilitation strategy using a variety of manual and creative activities. The occupational therapist attempts to restore a medical patient's health, independence, and self-reliance by first evaluating the patient's needs and then teaching the patient to understand and compensate for their disability through planned activities and therapies. Occupational therapists may have to design and construct special equipment to assist disabled patients, such as designing a tool to help a paraplegic put on shoes and socks. Occupational therapists can specialize in particular areas of rehabilitation such as pediatrics, hand rehabilitation, infant care, stroke rehabilitation and geriatrics. Occupational therapists can also specialize in the area of mental health, assisting mentally retarded patients in becoming more active, independent members of society.

Critical Issue: Developing An Applied And Integrated Curriculum If teachers in different subject areas are teaching integrated units, in work activities or tasks performed by individuals in various occupations, http://www.ncrel.org/sdrs/areas/issues/envrnmnt/stw/sw100.htm
Extractions: ISSUE: The foundation of all efforts to improve high school students' transition to postsecondary education and/or careers is an applied and integrated curriculum that connects academic and vocational learning. This curriculum concept, supported by appropriate instruction and assessment, is designed to raise students' academic and vocational skills. It enables students to succeed either in securing higher paying and satisfying employment after high school or in having a general career focus when continuing their education in college or technical school. To a great extent, an applied and integrated curriculum embodies what research shows about meaningful, engaged learning . Although development of this curriculum may be more time-consuming than traditional methods of teaching, the benefits to students are great. Students acquire a broader, more in-depth understanding of academic material and apply what they learn to real-life situations, better preparing them to succeed in whatever endeavor they choose after high school. Overview Goals Action Options Pitfalls ... References OVERVIEW: Changes in the workplace brought about by technology, downsizing, and restructuring have led to the realization that students need different skills to be successfully employed today than they did ten years ago.

Extractions: This report focuses on the third of these features, the employer partnerships and how they evolved in each of the 10 participating Career Academies. It also assesses the extent to which Career Academies increased student participation in various career awareness and work-based learning activities that were sponsored by the employer partners. The findings presented in this report provide insights into the opportunities and challenges that high schools and local employers face as they seek to build constructive partnerships. The report suggests several lessons that can guide the development of employer partnerships and work-related learning opportunities for students in the context of Career Academies or other school-to-work programs. Figure ES-1 shows the names, locations, and affiliations of the 10 Career Academies participating in the evaluation. Most of the school districts represented in the evaluation are large and enroll high percentages of black and Hispanic students compared with national averages. The participating school districts also have higher dropout rates, unemployment rates, and percentages of low-income families than national averages. Most Career Academies across the country are located in such districts, and MDRC purposely sought such sites for the Career Academies Evaluation. Using this group of sites will ensure that the study yields findings for a broad mix of students, including those who, in the experience of schools in the district, may be at risk of doing poorly in school.
Extractions: Every morning, residents meet as a group for one hour with their preceptor for a didactic session. During these encounters, the residents will review their current cases and projects with each other and the attending physician. This provides an educational forum to emphasize teaching points, identify opportunities for project improvement and monitor project progress. The attending staff may also use this time to help the residents prepare for the American Board of Preventive Medicine Board Certification in Occupational Medicine, as well as to present teaching cases from the Office of Occupational Medicine. Through a combination of resident-based learning and direct preceptor supervision, resident physicians receive individualized attention and continuous opportunities for the advancement of professional knowledge. Ultimately, regulatory rounds provide an interactive opportunity for resident education.
