An Exemplary Program in Occupational Education in Typical Kansas Rural, Rural-Urban and Urban School Settings. An Evaluation Report.
Kansas State Advisory Council for Vocational Education, Topeka.
This second annual evaluation of three federally funded integrated model vocational education programs in the elementary and secondary grades presents program descriptions, evaluations, and recommendations separately for each comprehensive program. Selected as representative of rural, rural-urban, and urban settings in Kansas for use in similar school situations, the Clay Center, Lawrence, and Kansas City school systems carried out inservice teacher education and "real-life" student activities focusing on self awareness, occupational awareness, community resources, job clusters, and specific employment skills. Innovative techniques in this exemplary project included on-the-job training, field trips, resource speakers, audiovisual programs, and new curriculums in industrial arts and home economics. Background information for each community and school system is provided, dealing largely with socioeconomic factors. Quantitative, qualitative, and product evaluations are summarized, as well as staff perceptions of the programs. Tables present the data, gathered from school reports, staff and teacher interviews, class visits, and questionnaires. (AG)
