註釋The National Assessment of Vocational Education (NAVE) (a congressionally mandated study) is charged with evaluating the impact of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act Amendments of 1998 (Perkins III) and preparing a report to Congress by July 2002. As part of that effort, NAVE commissioned RAND to conduct a study to assess the quality of vocational education in the United States. The purpose of the study is twofold. It will provide evidence on the extent to which actual practice is consistent with legislative and other views of what constitutes "quality" practice in secondary vocational education. It will also provide evidence regarding how policies made at different levels of the education system enhance or impede implementation of quality practice. RAND?s findings as described in this report provide some of the information NAVE needs to evaluate the impact of the Perkins Act and prepare its report to Congress. They also yield lessons for the larger vocational education community by identifying strategies that can be adopted by schools, communities, and states to improve the quality of vocational education programs.
