Research and Evaluation Associates, Inc., Washington, DC.
This report presents the detailed results of the compilation of an overview of state activities related to measuring the outcomes of postsecondary vocational education. Chapter I provides background to the study. Chapter II describes the methodology used for the development of the overview, including discussions with experts, the information collection plan, and pilot test. Chapter III presents narrative summaries of the information compiled on each state, provided in alphabetical order by state name. The general format includes a description of the organization of vocational education in the state and estimates of the number of schools and students. Separate descriptions follow for public postsecondary vocational education, vocational-technical schools (if different policies and practices apply), and proprietary institutions. For each component of postsecondary vocational education, the information assembled on the outcome measures collected, collection methods, data verification, data analysis, and uses are presented. Recently passed legislation and other indications of change in the policies and practices are also provided. Each discussion concludes with a section that highlights the most significant feature(s) related to the collection of outcome measures within the state. Chapter IV displays the key elements from the summaries in a matrix. (YLB)
