Indiana Leadership Development Program for Vocational Administrative Personnel. Technical Report.
Harris, Robert C.; And Others
A project was conducted to provide in-service education to meet the specific interests and needs of the highest level vocational administrators associated with secondary, post-secondary, and Division of Vocational Education agencies in Indiana. The specific objectives were (1) to examine concepts of leadership relative to administration and supervision, (2) to expand understandings of interdisciplinary concepts, (3) to formulate sophisticated approaches to planning, conducting, and evaluation, (4) to refine competencies that will allow continuous growth in administrative roles, and (5) to facilitate positive working relationships among personnel in the three agencies. Total agency representation included 29 secondary administrators, 21 post-secondary administrators, and 11 consultants from state level administrative positions. A consortium of four state universities conducted the program using funds from Education Professions Development Act (EPDA) grants and university matching funds. Outcomes and the products of the programs included (1) refined administrative competencies, (2) improved communication between secondary and post-secondary administrators, (3) improved working relationship among the four state universities providing graduate vocational technical education programs, and (4) improved management of the agencies in the vocational education delivery system. Curriculum materials were developed and research and development products were produced by individual contracted studies. A new sole state agency for administering vocational technical education has been established and a research grant to pilot test regional planning models has been secured. (Author/HD)
