Abstract | In 1992, the Guam System of Performance Measures and Standards for vocational education was adopted. In 1993-94, results of the performance measures and standards indicated the following: 68 percent of secondary students achieved the 0.5 grade growth in reading; about 90 percent of postsecondary students scored a mean gain of 1.2, well over the 1.0 standard; all secondary graduates earned at least $1.70 more per hour than the minimum wage; and a higher educational achievement resulted in a higher wage rate. Also in 1993-94, teachers participated in a workshop that focused on integration of academic and vocational education. Eight students in the teen parenting program or on the Single Parent Registry participated in a program that provided shop safety and health education classes geared toward enhancing students' employability. The Women's Career and Educational Resource Center established an Outreach and Support Group for Women on Public Assistance. Child care and support services were provided for single parenting students. Support services were provided to mainstreamed students, and a postsecondary services coordinator position was created. Professional development activities were funded, and college course work was provided to regional educators at the Pacific Region Vocational Education Teacher Academy. (The report concludes with charts detailing enrollment, graduates' salaries, and graduates' employment and the Guam System of Performance Measures and Standards for Vocational Education.) (YLB) |
