This publication provides materials from a hearing to learn about the regional curriculum needs and priorities. Chapter I is an introduction that presents information on the hearing and on the organization of the National Network for Curriculum Coordination in Vocational and Technical Education. Chapter II is a summary of testimony received from individuals representing the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin, and government, education, and business organizations. Summary statements of testimony are listed under one of five categories: uniqueness of center, technical assistance, liaison and networking relationships, quality and effectiveness, and suggested responsibilities and projects. Chapter III contains five recommendations that evolved from the synthesis of testimony: seek federal funding to support the East Central Network (ECN) concept, expand the ongoing services provided by ECN, build more effective liaison and networking relations, incorporate those aspects that will increase the quality and effectiveness of the ECN operation, and acquire federal and state approval and monetary support to implement clients' suggestions and meet curriculum needs throughout ECN. Justifications and recommended actions are cited. Chapter IV is an evaluation of the process of the public hearing. Chapter V presents the testimony, which is for the most part verbatim. A public hearing flyer and evaluation form are appended. (YLB)
