STATE VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM CENTERS

The following curriculum centers offer free research, referral, and resource services to vocational education administrators in their state. Their resource centers' staff respond to requests in all vocational subject areas, including agriculture, business/distributive education, health, home economics, special needs, cooperative education, industrial arts, plus the vocational education concerns of gender equity and guidance. Specific services available from the centers may vary, but generally include workshops in curriculum development and use, reprinting/production, and the dissemination of curriculum and instructional materials.

This section contains a current list of curriculum centers that responded to the Office of Special Populations (OSP) update request by mid-September 1994. For any changes, updates, and other additional information, please contact the OSP office.
