Since passage of the federal Tech Prep legislation, local consortia have been forming across the United States. The National Center for Research in Vocational Education (NCRVE) is conducting research to better understand how Tech Prep is progressing nationwide and to identify barriers that need to be overcome in future implementation efforts. Your consortia has been randomly selected from all local consortia throughout the country to be part of this survey. We need your assistance to determine how Tech Prep is being implemented at your site.
You may be assured complete confidentiality regarding your responses to this questionnaire. An identification number appears on the questionnaire for mailing purposes only. Your name will never be placed on the questionnaire and your responses will only be reported in aggregate form.
The survey has five parts and it is essential that you provide responses to the questions in all the parts of the questionnaire. The five parts are:
1. Part I: Tech Prep Goals & Outcomes
2. Part II: The Stage of Implementation of Tech Prep
3. Part III: Barriers to Tech Prep Implementation
4. Part IV: Tech Prep Consortium Characteristics
5. Part V: Tech Prep Coordinator Background
Most questions require you circle responses. A few questions require you print a short answer. Typing is not necessary. Respondents in the pilot of this survey reported completion time ranged between forty-five minutes and one hour.
