Five areas of concern relating to the Vocational-Technical Education Consortium of States (V-TECS) are documented in this report. First, following an introduction which discusses the purpose of the V-TECS system (to develop materials for performance based instruction), the organizational structure of the sixteen state consortium is presented, including information on the administrative agency, the board of directors, the central staff, the technical coordinators, and the project directors. Second, information is given on the methods and procedures for V-TECS product development and review. The V-TECS model, occupational survey, computer systems and services, and quality control features are also discussed. Third, project status in terms of completion schedule, state diffusion strategies, and the National Institute of Education proposal are reviewed. (Of the 114 projects to develop catalogs of performance objectives and criterion-referenced measures, thirty-five are completed with catalogs now available.) Fourth, newly developed, proposed, and implemented techniques are described and the following areas are included: computer systems and services advancement; catalog revision and updating cycle; linkage between V-TECS catalogs and classroom delivery systems; third-party evaluation of V-TECS; and the Delphi technique for long range planning techniques. Lastly, information is given on the fees for membership and the catalogs. The following information is appended: the V-TECS bylaws; names and addresses of board members, staff members, and technical coordinators in member states; V-TECS staff resumes; and a table of project titles with corresponding job titles.
