THIS PLAN WAS DEVELOPED FROM A DOCTORAL STUDY WITH THE COOPERATION OF MEMBERS OF THE INDIANA BUSINESS EDUCATION ASSOCIATION. IT WAS USED FOR EVALUATION PURPOSES IN 25 HIGH SCHOOLS AND REVISED. THE EVALUATION INSTRUMENT CONSISTS OF NINE SECTIONS WITH SUBSECTIONS--(1) CURRICULUM, (2) INSTRUCTIONAL CONTENT, (3) INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES, METHODS, AND PROCEDURES, (4) INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS, (5) GUIDANCE, (6) EXTRACLASS ACTIVITIES, (7) HOME, BUSINESS, AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS, (8) PHYSICAL FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT, AND (9) STAFF. EACH SUBSECTION IS INTRODUCED BY A CRITERION FOLLOWED BY A SERIES OF CHECK-LIST ITEMS WHICH ARE SPECIFIC STATEMENTS OF OPTIMUM CONDITIONS, PRACTICES, AND CHARACTERISTICS RELATING TO THE COMPREHENSIVE GENERAL CRITERION. EACH STAFF MEMBER IS REQUIRED TO MAKE AN INDIVIDUAL EVALUATION ON SPECIFIC POINTS OF EACH SUBSECTION AND A GENERAL, OVERALL EVALUATION OF THE WHOLE SUBSECTION. THE ENTIRE STAFF, MEETING TOGETHER, THEN EVALUATES BOTH THE SPECIFIC ITEMS AND EACH SUBSECTION AS A WHOLE. A DEPARTMENTAL PROFILE IS THEN CONSTRUCTED IN GRAPHIC FORM AS A SUMMARY OF ALL EVALUATIONS MADE OF ALL 27 SUBSECTIONS. (PS)
