- Abstract
Proceedings of two workshops held to improve vocational education through advisory committees, along with an evaluation of each workshop, are presented. A format is included for a workshop for secondary vocational administrators and local advisory committee members and a workshop held for postsecondary vocational administrators and local advisory committee members. Objectives of each workshop, the pretest-posttest questions used to evaluate each objective, and test results are discussed. The major difficulties in the process of planning, conducting, and evaluating the workshops, along with suggestions for remediation, are given. The following papers presented to workshop participants are included: (1) "The Purposes and Functions of the Local Advisory Council," by Toley W. Hart; (2) "How to Motivate Vocational Educators to Work with Local Advisory Committees," by L. T. Hampton; (3) "How to Use Local Advisory Committees in Planning for New Facilities," by D. E. Talley; (4) "Ways to Maximize the Utilization of Local Advisory Committees," by Charles O. Whitehead; (5) "The Purpose and Function of Local Advisory Committee," by J. B. Whitely; and (6) "How to Use an Advisory Board for Course Curriculum Development," by Betsy Blair. (LRA)
