Diverse Forms of Tech-Prep: Implementation Approaches in Ten Local Consortia

摘要

The 10 consortia included in the in-depth study were selected to reflect thediversity of Tech-Prep program settings and of the stages of development the programs have reached. Emphasis was placed on choosing sites from different geographic regions and from both urban and rural locations. The authors also sought to include some relatively mature programs as well as some in earlier stages of development. The evaluation team solicited nominations of study sites from state coordinators, an evaluation advisory group that included state and local educators active in developing and monitoring Tech-Prep programs, and other informed parties. The report represents a first step in documenting the progress of these 10 consortia and identifying effective implementation practices. It presents a basic description of the status of each consortium, as determined in the initial fall 1993 site visits.
