In order to create a Statewide evaluation system for schools offering occupational education, behavioral objectives of various occupational programs were developed A total systems approach to education was thus possible with behavioral objectives as the basic component. Thirty-six participating secondary schools and community colleges in Massachusetts and New York generated over ten thousand raw objectives--RAWOBs--during the 1970-72 project. These were consolidated into 724 synthesized objectives--SYNOBs--designed to provide a means by which schools could select objectives on which their students would be tested and by which the schools and teachers could follow their own preferences in the processes of instruction. Next, a bank of test items was constructed reflecting the common objectives across schools and the individual variations within schools. The results of the tests make possible the continuous evaluation of the effectiveness of methods and goals of teaching in a classroom, school, local system, or State. In the final report, descriptive and explanatory material is interspersed with the documents used in the project. A glossary and bibliography are appended. (MS)
