A staff exchange project designed to provide for an exchange of vocational education teachers and administrators with supervisors and technicians from business and industry is presented in this handbook. A step-by-step plan, for use at State, regional, and local levels, is given for initiating, planning, and implementing an exchange project. Six chapters are presented which parallel the various stages of the project: (1) Rationale and Objectives of Staff Exchange Projects, (2) Initiating and Staffing the Project, (3) The Planning Phase (including a month-by-month breakdown of planning tasks and activities), (4) The Operational Phase, (5) Workshops (pre-exchange and post-exchange), and (6) Evaluation Plans. Approximately one-fourth of the manual is comprised of an appendix which includes planning and operational phase PERT charts, three operating models (with task and activity lists), and a complete project evaluation plan.
