Local and regional advisory councils can provide vocational programs with unique and essential evaluation information. Most advisory councils are asked to review components of vocational programs about which they have limited experience and/or knowledge, such as philosophy, objectives, and management. There are several, often overlooked areas in which the expertise and consequent advice of the advisory council would be most helpful and appropriate. The Kentucky Advisory Committee Evaluation System (KACES) was designed to tap the resource potential of the advisory council. KACES is a four-step evaluation which includes orientation, investigation, interpretation, and recommendation. The evaluation is based on two forms utilized by the advisory councils at the State, regional, and local levels. Reactions to the KACES program were very positive, and recommendations about the KACES program were based on the pilot testing and revisions and include points such as clearly defining the vocational teacher's role in evaluation and developing alternative interviewing times and techniques.
