Abstract	This study was designed to answer questions concerning how State-level efforts related to the development of vocational education curriculum materials should be conducted, by whom, and through what means. A review of relevant literature and materials was initiated, and questionnaires and interviews were used to gather additional information from local vocational directors, local administrators, vocational teacher educators, and State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education (SBCCOE) staff in Colorado. Tables supplement the findings, which are discussed under the following topics: State level curriculum materials development efforts; agencies responsible for vocational education curriculum materials development; importance of selected activities funded by the SBCCOE; importance of specific activities in any Colorado vocational education curriculum materials development effort; types of vocational education curriculum materials; agencies with primary responsibility for preparing specific products; individuals with primary responsibility for preparing specific products; importance of the audiences for whom vocational education curriculum materials should be developed; importance of curriculum materials development activities which should receive State funds if limited financial resources exist; and agencies which should serve as a centralized coordinating location. Conclusions and recommendations are presented along with the following implications: (1) Additional State level support should be made available to the curriculum materials development, (2) vocational educators must be organized into a cohesive support group, (3) a curriculum materials development system should be designed and implemented, and (4) education related to curriculum materials development is and will continue to be important.
