A project was developed to create a training procedure for preparing persons with non-teaching professional degrees to become teachers of vocational agriculture/agribusiness. The project involved (1) surveying state supervisors of agricultural education to determine the utilization made of persons with non-teaching professional degrees as teachers of vocational agriculture; (2) surveying state supervisors of agricultural education, teacher educators in agricultural education, and a sample of teachers to evaluate the strategies used in recruiting and training persons with non-teaching professional degrees to be teachers of vocational agriculture/agribusiness; and (3) developing, printing, and distributing procedures for recruiting, selecting, and preparing such persons as teachers of vocational agriculture/agribusiness. (These procedures are included in this document, along with the final report, and are also included separately in ERIC as document CE 019 063.) The survey data analysis involved the establishment of frequency distributions, means, standard deviations, and percentages and the use of analysis of variance and Duncan's New Multiple Range Test. It was found that 79% of the states in the U.S. have an inadequate supply of professionally trained teachers of vocational agriculture/agribusiness. Thirty states use teachers with non-teaching professional degrees. A variety of recruitment strategies are used in obtaining teachers, with the most effective being individual contact.
