Exemplary Vocational Education Program Based on Environmental Studies, K-14. Final FY2 Evaluation Report (Interim Project Report).
Educational Management Services, Inc., Minneapolis, Minn.
This document presents the evaluation plan and the evaluation activities and findings for the project described in VT 020 441 available in this issue. This project was designed to be an exemplary project using an environmental focus to establish career education in a Minnesota school district. Evaluation activities are divided into the components of management, in-service, and program. Under each component a number of evaluation activities are discussed. For the most part, evaluation consisted of documenting that the program was operational and that the staff was implementing proposal project strategies. Based upon meetings with the project staff, site visits at the project schools, and review of the quarterly reports the evaluation team concluded that the project was well managed and that staff were generally familiar with and committed to project goals. It was found that, in practice, career education and environmental education were taught as separate entities. Teachers rated their experiential activities (e.g., shop experience) highly. Some changes in student attitudes toward occupations were documented by pre-post attitudinal inventories. Specific findings and recommendations are detailed in narrative and tabular form. (MF)
