Policy Statements for Vocational Education in Wisconsin. A Report Prepared by a Representative Committee and Reviewed by an Interagency Panel Concerned with Vocational Education, 1977.
Wisconsin State Board of Vocational, Technical, and Adult Education, Madison.
The policy statements reported here were developed to assist decisionmakers in the improvement of vocational education in Wisconsin through the clarification of philosophy, restatement of principles, and categorization of statements of policy. First, a preamble sets the framework for what follows by defining some basic concepts, including vocational education, philosophy, and policies. Then follows a list of eleven principles of vocational education which served as the basis for the policy statements. The remainder of this booklet presents the policy statements in five sections. The first one lists sixteen program policy statements addressing the extent and scope of vocational programs, the people to be served, and criteria for use in program planning, development, implementation, and evaluation. Section 2 presents nineteen personnel policy statements indicating the nature, scope, and expectations of vocational education personnel. In section 3, eight student policy statements are presented which focus on the development of appropriate programs, facilities, services, and activities to meet the individual needs of students. The fourth section contains eight fiscal policy statements which serve as guidelines for examining and generating funding policy for vocational education. The last section lists fifteen evaluation policy statements addressing the need for the continuous evaluation of goals, processes, and products. (EM)
