EPDA Leadership Development Program. Graduate Study Research, and Internship in Vocational Education. Final Report (July 1970-June 1973).

Overview & Synopsis

This 3-year leadership development project was conducted to provide 18 selected vocational education teachers with an opportunity for graduate study in vocational education, research, and related areas, and to provide internship experiences in State and local educational systems, enabling participants to complete requirements for the degree, Doctor of Education. The faculty of the Graduate Consortium in Vocational Education at the University of California at Los Angeles was directly responsible for the project. Most of the students involved had enrolled in adult, vocational, business, and technical education programs. General university policies, departmental qualifications, and criteria outlined in the Education Professions Development Act were used in selecting the students. Evaluations were made by awardees at the mid-point and the end of the project. Those observations as well as details of developmental activities, and biographical summaries of participants are included. (SN)
