The 1975 national seminar was designed to provide in-service education for state vocational directors with a focus on redefining roles and responsibilities in key areas of vocational education. Three position papers for each of the following topics were presented: A Philosophy for Vocational Education, The Governance of Vocational Education at the State and Local Levels, The Role of Vocational Education in Large Cities, The Role of Research in Vocational Education, Standard Characteristics of Vocational Education Programs, and Management Information Systems for Vocational Education. Task force groups of seminar participants produced synthesized versions of the papers for each topic. In addition, progress reports with the following titles are included: Curriculum Development--The Vocational-Technical Education Consortium of the State; Career Education: Its Status Today; The Education Commission of the States Looks at Vocational Study; and Chief State Officers Look at Vocational Education. The seminar agenda and lists of program presenters and participants are appended. (Author/NJ)
