Statewide VTAE Staff Training Needs Assessment. Final Report.

Overview & Synopsis

This final report begins with a three-page narrative of a statewide needs assessment of vocational, technical, and adult education (VTAE) instructors and administrators on technical staff training needs in Wisconsin. Statewide composite results for areas of need are presented for eight survey questionnaires sent to staff in these areas: management (373 respondents); instructional (769); agriculture (73); business education (207); marketing and distributive education (47); health occupations (211); home economics (63); and trade and industry (323). The majority of the document consists of appendixes containing the pilot test critique form; questionnaires; and district data tables, categorized by management staff and instructional staff. Data tables for management staff illustrate major staff development needs in these topical areas: trends and forecasting, delivery systems, needs assessment, curriculum and evaluation, and management. Data tables for instructional staff illustrate major staff development needs in these topical areas: business and industry, curriculum, equipment, public relations, student needs, instruction, and other.
