This booklet is designed to assist local educators in designing and implementing approaches to cooperation between secondary and postsecondary schools. It provides information on how secondary and postsecondary educational institutions can coordinate curricula, reduce duplication and costs, and provide optimal occupational training for students in public schools. The Virginia 2+2 model is described and development procedures for programs are listed. Three model programs--the master technician program on the Virginia Peninsula; the engineering design technician program in the Lynchburg area; and the information processing specialist program in the Winchester area--are described. Crucial factors for success with 2+2 programs are identified, the benefits of such programs are listed, and a model organizational chart for 2+2 programs is included. The booklet concludes with a description of current articulation activities in the areas of programming, staff development, and procedures. In addition, names, addresses, and telephone numbers for 17 articulation contact persons in Virginia are provided. (CML)
