The development of understandings, attitudes, and appreciation appropriate for selected state and local vocational-technical educators, guidance personnel, general educators, and federal personnel with potential responsibilities for residential vocational education programs comprised the focus of this conference. Major issues related to residential vocational education were identified as: (1) concern over the broad age coverage and the feasibility of training the ages of 14-21 as a merged group, (2) the overall role of residential vocational schools, and (3) the socioeconomic groups to be served. Recommendations of conference participants have been incorporated into summary papers which were presented as the final phase of the conference. A related document which presents the initial working papers by the authors of the summary papers included in this document is available as VT 009 086. (CH)
