THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY WAS TO ELICIT SPECIFIC CASES OF WEAKNESSES IN DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION TEACHERS AS OBSERVED AND REPORTED BY STATE SUPERVISORS OF DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION. OF THE 41 CASES COMPILED, 27 DEALT WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL COOPERATIVE PROGRAM, SEVEN WITH ADULT EDUCATION, AND SEVEN WITH GENERAL WEAKNESSES MOSTLY IN PROFESSIONALISM. INFORMATION ON EACH OF THE 14 CASES PRESENTED IN THIS DOCUMENT INCLUDES--(1) LEVEL OF PROGRAM AND AREA OF WEAKNESS, (2) CITATION OF WEAKNESS, (3) DESCRIPTION OF DETAILS SURROUNDING THE PROBLEM, AND (4) ELABORATION ON THE EXAMPLES. STUDIES AT THE COOPERATIVE LEVEL ARE CONCERNED WITH WEAKNESSES IN (1) INSTRUCTION, FOUR CASES, (2) COORDINATION, THREE CASES, (3) TRAINING STATION DEVELOPMENT, THREE CASES, AND (4) STUDENT SCREENING, ONE CASE. TWO CASES AT THE ADULT LEVEL ARE CONCERNED WITH WEAKNESSES IN PROGRAMING CLASSES AND DEVELOPING ADULT CLASSES. THE LAST CASE IS AT THE TEACHER-COORDINATOR LEVEL AND IS CONCERNED WITH PROFESSIONALISM. RESULTS OF THE CASE STUDY, ALTHOUGH NOT GENERALIZABLE TO ALL COORDINATORS, CAN POINT UP AREAS IN TEACHER EDUCATION THAT NEED STRENGTHENING. (MM)
