These two volumes developed from an earlier examination of the integration of academic and occupational education in community colleges and technical institutes carried out in 1991, resulting in an NCRVE monograph (Grubb & Kraskouskas, 1992). Since then, an advisory committee convened by Terry O'Banion and composed of administrators and faculty representing the League for Innovation in the Community College and the National Council on Occupational Education helped guide a further examination of integration and Tech Prep in community colleges, documented in a joint monograph (Grubb, Badway, Bell, & Kraskouskas, 1996). We are indebted to Sherri Kantor for her efforts to improve the clarity of this document. We thank them all.
