Administration and Counseling. Manpower Education Monograph Series, Volume IV.
Higher Education Development Fund, New York, NY.
The College Adapter Program (CAP) is a program to train inner-city young men and women with high potential for post-secondary technical training. These young men and women either have dropped out of high school, or have been insufficiently prepared in high school for further educational training. The Administration monograph is a statement of those considerations, objectives, and procedures that the CAP staff believes are important for an efficient administrative effort. The primary purpose of the Administration monograph is to present some practical suggestions for methods to develop a viable administration, all of which have proven in CAP, and models that can be adapted to other programs. The suggestions that the CAP staff believes are important for an effective administration are presented here: an operational overview; structuring staff responsibilities; hiring teaching staff; providing for responsive changes; proportioning time to courses; and, setting up weekly schedules of training. The Counseling monograph is a statement of those considerations, objectives, and procedures that the CAP staff believes are important for an effective counseling program. The primary purpose of the Counseling monograph is to present some practical suggestions for methods to design a comprehensive counseling program, all of which have proven successful in CAP, and considerations that can be adapted to other programs. Sample student schedules and attendance and progress sheets are included. (Author/JM)
