A study undertaken to aid administrators in considering program alternatives for administering Occupational Work Adjustment (OWA) and Occupational Work Experience (OWE) programs in Ohio examined the Ohio Department of Education's certification of OWA and OWE teachers in light of the state's new minimum standards for elementary and secondary schools. The study entailed the following data collection procedures: a literature review, a telephone survey of administrators in 19 States, surveys and small-group interviews with 56 OWA and OWE coordinators throughout Ohio, and analysis of followup data on OWA and OWE program completers. Data from these sources indicated that the current OWE and OWA programs must reexamine and modify their program-scheduling and teacher certification practices if they are to meet the new standards. In the future, programs should be approved as educational options at the local level, reduce time requirements for related classwork, and implement a new teacher education option for certifying teacher coordinators to teach basic academic courses for credit. (This report includes 19 tables, the student characteristics and teaching method survey instruments, the telephone survey interview schedule, and a ranking of teaching competencies.) (MN)
