The IVE League,
the foundation for Integrated Vocational Education (IVE), is a
federally registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization. Founded in 1984, Its
major emphasis is the development of curricula and materials which
blend academic education and career or vocational training into
thematic learning units for presentation to the same students, in the
same
classrooms, at the same time. As an adjunct activity, The IVE League
also provides Internet-based fund raising services (including
specialized fund management) to traditional schools, charter schools,
and scholastic research, as well as to other registered community-based
nonprofit organizations.

WHAT IS "IVE"?
"IVE" is the acronym for
Integrated Vocational Education -- an education method for any learning
environment--public, charter, home school, or private--which advocates
the
teaching of both Core Academics and Career / Vocational skills to the
same
students in the same classrooms at the same time. IVE students take
their
learning tasks "hands-on." They demonstrate their knowledge through its
applications and validate it by putting it to work in real-world
exercises.
Most important, IVE can reduce drop-out rates and graduate high school
students ready to go on to college or join the global workforce at a
career-prepared level.
The futures of
individuals, of societies, and of nations depend on how well their people are
educated--how well they are prepared to function within their societies
and communities and to deal with their individual
lives. This is the entire purpose of, and justification for, the
institution we know as Education.
We, members of The
IVE League,
would like to invite you to investigate the concept of Integrated
Vocational
Education. Then, if you agree it could provide students with better
environments
in which to learn, join us in developing an education program focused
on
students instead of schools, on learning styles rather than teaching
styles,
and on all around preparedness for a working life as well as
preparedness
for advanced education.
Picture an education
system which graduates students with all the academic background to
continue on to college, and all of the workplace and technical skills
necessary to enter immediately into the global work force of the 21st
century. Imagine students graduating from high school with a background
view of more than 60 career paths, with hands on experience in over a
dozen, and as much as 2,000 hours of actual paid work experience in a
career path working environment the day they receive their diploma!
If you can envision such a system, you can understand the concept and
the value of Integrated Vocational
Education.

This is just the beginning,
unfortunately, of a complex site. For this we apologize. Because of the
diversity of the activities in which The IVE League is
involved, and the volume of information necessary to explain
what we do and how we do it, the site is organized into seven
broad topical areas of interest.

In
one way or another, every education organization needs to reach out to
the public for support. This is especially true for us as program
developers--and almost any other small or specialized non-profits
who elect not to derive their primary funding from government
sources. Instead they rely on the generosity of program support
memberships, individual private donors, and supporting affiliated business to provide for their financial needs. Some of
these-- internal associated programs and activities--are listed on the
tabs to the left. You will find others featured on the IVE Supporters page which is still in the process of redesign.
In any case, we hope you will provide them with your support.
