Abstract | To ascertain the effectiveness of the inservice approaches utilized in the original Michigan Vocational Education Advisory Committee Project, a followup state survey was conducted. The original project, to improve the operating effectiveness of vocational education advisory committees throughout the state, involved (1) development of a guide to provide inservice education for vocational directors, teacher-educators, teachers, and advisory committee members, (2) a series of fifteen regional workshops to acquaint teachers and administrators with materials and techniques, and (3) utilization of second-party trainers as workshop leaders for a series of additional workshops. Analysis of data showed that 90% of the 900 participants received the Guide for Effective Utilization of Advisory Committees; three-fourths felt it was useful; vocational administrators expressed a need for more information on the State Plan and ongoing vocational technical programs; many teacher-educators are not updated to developments in the field; advisory committee members are not knowledgeable in some areas of their involvement; and the second-party trainer approach was effective due to the person-to-person communication lines that developed between teachers, administrators, and second-party trainers. Recommendations include continuation of the second-party trainer approach for both inservice and for information dissemination. (Over half of the report consists of data tables and appended survey materials.) (JT) |
