Bryan,

I imagine others might have the same question.  The webcasts are archived 
on the website (http://www.nccte.org/webcasts/index.asp) approximately 30 
days after the webcast.  The format is a *.wmv file.  The site also 
generally provides transcripts and powerpoint presentations in the archive.

>This webcast presents the results of a study conducted by the National

>improve performance on standardized math tests. The study was conducted

>with random assignment of teachers and their classes to experimental and

>control groups. Over 100 teachers and more than 3,000 students from 10

>states and five occupational areas participated in the study during the

>2004-2005 academic year.

>

>Post testing conducted at the end of the 2005 school year found that the

>classes of the experimental teachers performed significantly better on the

>TerraNova and AccuplacerT tests. This improvement was produced by teachers

>using a combination of pedagogy and specially designed professional

>development. The director of NRCCTE, Dr. James Stone III, will present

>details of this study and explain the five core principles that underlie

>the intervention that was tested.

>Stone has served as director of the NRCCTE since 2002. He has also served

>as the deputy director, with responsibilities for developing new research

>initiatives and coordinating the work of the centers' associate partners,

>Johns Hopkins University and the Academy for Educational Development. In

>addition to the "Math in CTE" study, he is presently involved in an

>examination of CTE-based, whole school reforms in schools serving

>disadvantaged youth.

>Beyond the traditional forms of disseminating research results, Stone has

>worked directly with schools and school systems supporting efforts to

>improve occupationally oriented education. He worked for more than five

>years with the Oakland (Calif.) public schools, helping to implement a

>community-based, school-to-work plan that included career academy

>development and school-based enterprises. He worked with a Minneapolis high

>school, in partnership with the American Indian Opportunities Industrial

>Centers, developing a program targeted at urban Native American youth.

>Also, he recently completed a study of postsecondary occupational/technical

>education in Minnesota. Stone earned his bachelor's and doctoral degrees at

>Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and his master's degree

>in school administration at George Mason University.
