Pre-tests, post-tests, and on-site observations were used to evaluate a series of workshops designed to prepare California community college occupational personnel for conducting follow-up studies using Student Accountability Model (SAM) materials and methods. Pre-tests elicited information on participants' positions at their respective colleges, familiarity with SAM, and the degree to which they felt confident in implementing SAM procedures. Post-tests assessed whether participants gained increased understanding of SAM as a result of the workshops. On-site observations evaluated clarity of presentations, appropriateness of workshop information, and participant's exchange of experiences in using SAM. Results revealed that the established objectives were successfully achieved, although wide discrepancies in prior knowledge of SAM among representatives of colleges using SAM and those not using it may have detracted somewhat from the effectiveness of the workshops. Most participants indicated that SAM was very appropriate at their campuses, although they identified some serious problems undermining SAM's effectiveness: lack of adequate resources to implement and maintain SAM, lack of administrator support, lack of clear definitions for classifying occupational courses and students, and difficulty in obtaining high return rates to mailed questionnaires.
