This handbook provides basic information for conducting an institutional self-evaluation of programs and services offered to the disadvantaged and handicapped at the community college level. Specifically focusing on programs and services funded under the Vocational Education Amendments of 1968, this guide is intended for those who are inexperienced with such self-evaluation projects. Developed as part of a pilot study of four community colleges, in cooperation with representative members of the administration, staff, community, and student body, this document includes: (1) background information, (2) a summary plan for evaluation, (3) steps in the evaluative process, and (4) sample work forms. Suggested evaluation questions and a sample working diagram for the self-study process are provided. An extensive self-evaluation questionnaire is appended. This document is related to VT 018 582 and VT 018 595, which are available in this issue. (AG)
