Cluster Facts Old and New

• Clusters are a means of organizing or
  categorizing all job or occupations.
• Developed by the U.S. Office of Education
• Until year 2000 there were 15 clusters.
• In 2000 the USOE put forth a new system which was
  16 clusters.
• This was more than just adding another number it
  was a reorganization and redistribution of jobs
  or occupations into new clusters.

  pathways instead of families

Should your students know the clusters?

• Two points of views..Yes and No
• Yes --- The purpose of CO is to give students an
  overview of the world of work. The 12000 or so
  jobs need to be arranged in some logical order so
  that students can research and study careers in a
  logical manner. But the knowledge that there are
  16 clusters may be more important than naming
  them all.
• No --- Knowing the cluster is not that important.
  This is really useless knowledge that waste the
  student time to learn.

52
How can I teach them the clusters?

• Simple memorize
• Have them work on this on their own and then give
  rewards for those who learn first
• Have then either recite in class or have them
  write on paper.
• Use some classroom group recitation activities.
• Game(s)
• Circle of chairs each person states one and then
  next person says previous one and one more.
• Write on board and erase a little as you all
  repeat them out loud
• Pneumonic(s) A system to help lead lists by
  using first letter of word(s).

53
Pneumonic

• There had been a good easy Pneumonic that had
  been developed and used by teachers in AR for
  many years for the old 15cluster system.
• My summer class of 2001 developed their own
  Pneumonic as a class assignment.
• I have two here that I will share.
• The first was presented at CO Conference in
  Summer 2001 by Allie Brooks, then student and
  later the CO teacher at Brookland.
• The second was developed by 2 ag guys and a coach
  at the Dequeen site.
