Corrections Education Evaluation System Model.
Nelson, Orville; And Others
The purpose of this project was to develop an evaluation system for the competency-based vocational program developed by Wisconsin's Division of Corrections, Department of Public Instruction (DPI), and the Vocational, Technical, and Adult Education System (VTAE). Site visits were conducted at five correctional institutions in March and April of 1988. These visits gave project staff a firsthand view of the educational program and constraints vocational educators encountered within their correctional institutions. This experience also helped to identify the type of information generated by teaching activities, tests, and other assessments. A search of holdings of the ERIC (Educational Research Information Center) database identified a variety of documents for review. Members of the Interagency Steering Committee and colleagues at the University of Wisconsin-Stout suggested additional references. Site visits confirmed the following: (1) the viability of the vocational program in the correctional system; (2) the importance of the program's data management system in program administration; and (3) the need to articulate the evaluation system with those used by DPI and the VTAE system to evaluate their vocational programs. The evaluation system questionnaires and ancillary materials are appended. (TJH)
