This guide has been developed to assist administrators and teacher-coordinators in New Jersey in planning and implementing cooperative home economics programs. The guide is organized in five sections that focus on the administration of a cooperative home economics program. The first section describes the program, providing information on the definition and history of cooperative vocational education, a description of cooperative home economics education and home economics-related occupations, and New Jersey program guidelines for cooperative vocational education programs. In the second section, information is given on planning the cooperative home economics program, including initiating the program, the roles of all involved, and public relations. Conducting the program is considered in section 3, which includes information on the role of the teacher-coordinator, student selection and supervision, school-work linkages, grading, unemployed students, recordkeeping, state reports, safety, legal considerations, and advisory committees. Program evaluation is explained in section 4, and evaluations by all parties to the program (teacher-coordinator, students, employers, advisory committee, and parents) are discussed. The final section describes Future Homemakers of America/Home Economics Related Occupations organizations, their structure, and their work program. Samples of forms to be used in conducting cooperative home economics programs are provided in an appendix to the guide. (KC)
