Secondary-Post Secondary Curriculum Articulation Project for Vocational Technical Education in Minnesota. Final Report.
Burger, Laura J.
A project was conducted to develop and pilot test a process for vertically articulating curriculum between the secondary and postsecondary levels of vocational-technical education in Minnesota. Subgoals were to develop and validate a procedure for developing statewide task lists and competency records and to develop a process for teacher and administrator utilization of the articulation products. The five areas of research and development included: (1) articulation product development, (2) articulation process development, (3) dissemination plan development, (4) production of publications for regional articulation, and (5) identification of data sources for updating and revising articulation products. A procedure for developing articulation products was developed and validated, and a regional process was successfully piloted through the developmental phase of automotive mechanics articulation in three pilot sites. Five publications were printed and 12 are currently being printed. Diffusion of project goals, information, and products was accomplished statewide and nationally. Both the procedure for product development and the regional dissemination process have been adopted by the State Department of Education. It was concluded that the overall evaluation of the project was positive. (NJ)
