Vocational Education Professional Personnel Development Center Accountability System. Final Report / Calvin J. Cotrell.

In response to a mutual need for better communication between the Pennsylvania Department of Education's Bureau of Vocational and Adult Education (BVAE) and four universities in Pennsylvania operating vocational education professional personnel development centers, an accountability system was designed through a cooperative effort with center directors and state staff. Through meetings and mailings, task force members (1) developed measurable process and product objectives for each fundable center activity; (2) designed a recordkeeping system with a procedure compatible for computer application to provide cost and other pertinent data; (3) designed an instrument for collecting information from staff regarding time, travel, and other factors pertinent to each center activity; and (4) designed a procedure for formative and summative evaluation of center activity that uses both internal and external personnel. The task force approved the products created and established a schedule for implementing the system. Data will be gathered through the system beginning in 1989-90. (KC)
