Analysis of the Competency-Based High School Diploma Program for CETA Clients. Report I. Structural and Programmatic Features of the Pilot Project as Model

摘要

The paper is the first in a series of six descriptive analyses of the University of Texas pilot program to demonstrate the utility of the Competency-Based High School Diploma for CETA clients. This report describes structural and programmatic features both common and unique to each of six pilot sites: Abilene, Brownsville, El Paso, Houston, and Temple. The features which are described both for commonality and for uniqueness among sites include: roles and functions of individuals, organizations, and agencies involved; initiation of effort; cost considerations; Adult Performance Level (APL) materials and the CBHSD process; and problems. Preliminary recommendations are made from the analyses.
