This module, one in a series of competency-based administrator instructional packages, focuses on a specific competency that vocational education administrators need to be successful in the area of business and financial management. The purpose of the module is to help administrators identify traditional and alternative funding opportunities for vocational education, learn the administrator's roles in the politics of vocational education resource development, and develop a resource development plan. An introduction provides terminal and enabling objectives, a list of resources needed, and a glossary of selected terms. The main portion of the module includes five sequential learning experiences. Overviews, which precede each learning experience, contain the objective for each experience and a brief description of what the learning experience involves. Each learning experience consists of a number of activities that may include information sheets, case studies, samples, checklists, and self-checks. Optional activities are provided. The final learning experience also provides an assessment form for administrator performance evaluation by a resource person. (YLB)
