Cooperative Vocational Education Policies and Procedures Manual.
North Carolina State Dept. of Public Instruction, Raleigh. Div. of Vocational Education.
This manual provides guidelines for establishing and conducting a cooperative vocational education program. The guide is organized in seven sections that provide information in narrative format on the following aspects of a cooperative education program: overview of the cooperative method of instruction, definitions, benefits of cooperative on-the-job training, teacher-coordinator qualifications, roles and responsibilities, course management, and legal concerns. Roles and responsibilities of teacher-coordinators, vocational directors, principals, students, parents, employers, and guidance counselors are discussed. The course management section covers teacher and student schedules, student recruitment and enrollment, classroom instruction, vocational student organizations, on-the-job training, criteria for selecting training stations, training agreements and plans, coordination visits, student conferences, advisory committees, public relations, grading and credit, and special programs for disadvantaged or handicapped students. Appendixes provide samples of the various forms used in cooperative vocational education programs. (KC)
