This guide is designed to aid instructional personnel in all areas of vocational education in the articulation of secondary and postsecondary programs through verification of student competencies. It presents general information on what program articulation is and why it is important, how articulation may be achieved in the least constraining fashion, what circumstances will permit automatic advanced placement, and what circumstances require testing. Three major sections describe these tools of articulation: student performance records, structured interview, and domain referenced testing. The first describes the Student Performance Record, a listing of tasks taught on secondary and postsecondary levels, and Task Detailing, a supporting document showing in detail what is taught in each task. Maintaining and supplementing the record are also discussed. A second section defines a structured interview and suggests how to develop one. The third section on domain referenced testing addresses background and significance of domain referenced testing, developing a domain referenced test, and developing a test item. The final section focuses on evaluation devices for performance testing. (YLB)
