McNelly, Don E.
This report contains comparative information that has been systematically secured through the evaluation project on secondary vocational education in Tennessee. It presents data that were collected, recorded, and reported from three program review and evaluation instruments for administration, vocational-technical instructional programs, and guidance and counseling. Data cover these areas: integration of academic education; sequential course of study; skill attainment and job placement; increased linkage with postsecondary institutions; instruction/on-the-job experience in all aspects of business/industry students are preparing to enter; serving special populations; improving school quality in schools with high concentrations of poor and low-achieving students; relevance of program to the workplace and extent to which it is reflection of current/future labor market needs; ability of curriculum, equipment, and instructional materials to meet demands of the work force; basic and higher order current and future workplace competencies reflect hiring needs of employers; and other pertinent criteria. Item mean ratings are reported in table form from the three program review and evaluation instruments. Each table is arranged item by item as found in the instruments with mean ratings compared to a baseline year. The next three tables provide gain totals by major category. A summary table is also presented. (YLB)
