The role that schools can or should play in preparing people to enter the world of work is hotly debated. In an effort to nurture the important and ongoing national dialogue on these issues, the Board on Testing and Assessment asked researchers and policymakers to engage in an interdisciplinary review and discussion of available data and implications for assessment policy. Transitions in Work and Learning considers the role of assessment in facilitating improved labor market transitions and life-long learning of American workers. It addresses the apparent mismatch between skill requirements of high-performance workplaces and skills acquired by students in school, the validity of existing assessment technologies to determine skills and competencies of persons entering various occupations, and ethical and legal issues in the implementation of new testing and certification programs. The book also examines the role of assessment in determining needed skills; developing ongoing education and training; and providing information to employers, prospective workers, and schools. 606 $aVocational evaluation$zUnited States 606 $aSchool-to-work transition$zUnited States 606 $aVocational education$zUnited States 606 $aOccupational training$zUnited States 606 $aLabor market$zUnited States 615 0$aVocational evaluation 615 0$aSchool-to-work transition 615 0$aVocational education 615 0$aOccupational training 615 0$aLabor market 676 $a370.11/3/0973 701 $aLesgold$b Alan M$01806418 701 $aFeuer$b Michael J$01596682 701 $aBlack$b Allison M$01806419 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommission on Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education.$bBoard on Testing and Assessment. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961762803321 996 $aTransitions in work and learning$94355579 997 $aUNINA
