Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act Amendments of 1998 (Perkins III) affected the state of U.S. secondary education? Congress mandated a National Assessment of Vocational Education to determine just that. This report is part of that assessment. Using a case study sample from seven states and a national teacher survey, the authors analyzed the results to determine the impact of Perkins III in fulfilling the overall goal of improving vocational education. Given the time constraint (four years is not enough time for full implementation) and selected sample of states in the study, the authors conclude that Perkins III is having some positive affect but only within the framework of the greater influence of the individual states' general-education policies. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (p. 193-195). 536 $a Prepared for the National Assessment of Vocational Education, U.S. Dept. of Education $g ED-00-C0-0002 650 0 $a Vocational education $z United States $x Evaluation $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Education, Secondary $z United States $x Evaluation. 650 0 $a Vocational education $x Evaluation. $z United States $x Evaluation. 650 0 $a Technical education $x Law and legislation $z United States. 776 1 $t RAND electronically distributed documents ; $n vol. 2004.08 700 1 $a Bodilly, Susan J. 700 1 $a Remes, Sarah C. 710 2 $a Rand Education (Institute) 710 2 $a Rand Corporation 710 2 $a National Assessment of Vocational Education (U.S.) 710 1 $a United States. $b Planning and Evaluation Service $b Planning and Evaluation Service 856 40 $u http://www.rand.org/publications/MR/MR1655/ $z Access from campus or via login from Rutgers account 856 40 $u http://purl.access.gpo.gov/GPO/LPS82165 941 $a 2 952 $l UPAX334 $d 20230104042041.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160824020612.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F5CCC8BAFE5E11E2B6A414D3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
