District Review of Vocational Education (DROVE) Follow-Up Study of 19 School Districts and Four Regional Occupational Programs Reviewed during 1974-75.
Manning, Charles
This report contains findings of a followup study of the impact of the District Review of Vocational Education (DROVE) on 19 secondary school districts and four regional occupational programs and centers (ROP/Cs) in California reviewed during 1974-75. (The followup study of the impact of DROVE is the third phase of DROVE, a three-phased, structured, consultant-directed evaluation system designed to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of secondary school district vocational education management systems, and to provide local, State, and Federal decisionmakers with current management information.) Some of the findings presented follow: District directors of vocational education rated 91% of their report recommendations as being reasonable; they also rated 78% of their recommendations as being implemented or in the process of implementation. Fourteen of the 19 district superintendents reported positive change or improvement in their district as the result of DROVE, and 16 of the 19 district vocational education coordinators reported change in their district attributable to DROVE. Recommendations note that DROVE should be continued, as the DROVE process is a vehicle for improvement of vocational education program management and a source of valuable information for State and Federal decisionmakers. Additional information on DROVE is appended to this report. (BL)
