The major objective of the Study of Curriculums for Occupational Preparation and Education (SCOPE) is to coordinate and contribute to national curriculum development effort at the secondary school level aimed at increasing the relevance of high school education for the large majority of our youth who must seek employment or further job training upon graduation. The first phase of the SCOPE program is Coordination of Occupational and Non-occupational Curriculums and Technology (CONECT). The objectives of this first phase are: (1) to establish communication among the state-supported vocational curriculum development centers, (2) to assist center directors in becoming aware of behavioral approaches to curriculum development, devices, and evaluation, (3) to refine and test a scheme for classifying educational objectives in terms of performance requirements and objectives, and (4) to develop a detailed plan of activity for Phase II of the SCOPE program. These two progress reports outline major accomplishments and developments during the first two quarters of SCOPE's first year of existance. (CH)
