We at the University of Illinois site of the National Center for Research in Vocational Education (NCRVE) conduct research to better understand how Tech Prep is progressing and to identify barriers that need to be overcome in future implementation efforts. This study follows up on a survey completed by local Tech Prep coordinators in 1993. As such, it will show changes that have occurred in Tech Prep between 1993 and 1995 as well as identify the status of Tech Prep nationwide.
In 1993 your Tech Prep consortium was randomly selected from all local consortia throughout the nation to be part of a survey regarding Tech Prep implementation. Now, we need your assistance in completing the 1995 follow-up questionnaire or getting it to the person in your consortium who is most knowledgeable about current Tech Prep implementation efforts. Usually this person is the local Tech Prep coordinator (or director), but not always. If you have questions about who should complete the questionnaire or if you have any other questions, contact me by phone, fax, or e-mail at the numbers shown at the bottom of the page.
There are five parts to the questionnaire and it is essential that you provide responses to the questions in all the parts. The five parts are:
| Part One: | Tech Prep Goals & Outcomes |
| Part Two: | The Stage of Implementation of Tech Prep |
| Part Three: | Barriers to Tech Prep Implementation |
| Part Four: | Tech Prep Consortium Characteristics |
| Part Five: | Tech Prep Coordinator Background |
Once you have completed the questionnaire, please mail it to us within the next three weeks. A postage-paid envelope is enclosed for your convenience. If you use a different envelope, send your survey to the attention of:
