Seventy-eight federally funded California vocational education projects were evaluated to provide information on which to base plans for future research and exemplary program policies and procedures in vocational education. Objectives of the evaluation were to (1) provide information for future planning of administration of funds; (2) determine if project results and outcomes were consistent with project objectives; (3) determine how results of the project benefited vocational education students; (4) prepare written descriptions of the project products; (5) document lasting effects which resulted; and (6) determine whether further dissemination of project outcomes is desirable. It was concluded that most of the projects were successful, though the number of students served seemed relatively small and evidence of direct benefits was not particularly convincing. However, a number of projects seemed to have significance at the state or national level. Thirteen recommendations were offered, the major one being that the California State Plan for Education should either be followed or it should be changed. (Projects included in the study and for which summaries were prepared are listed in the appendix of this report. Supplementary tables are also appended.) (BL)
