| Summary: | A study examined the success of the Pennsylvania Department of Education's Exemplary Program Project for Vocational Education in implementing and replicating exemplary vocational education programs, disseminating information about successful programs to local education agencies, and motivating school officials and teachers to develop or replicate additional exemplary programs. Data for the evaluation were obtained from questionnaires administered to teachers and administrators of all 42 exemplary and 33 replication programs that had been funded under the Exemplary Program Project as well as from site visitations to 11 of the exemplary and 6 of the replication programs. Detailed conclusions were then developed with respect to the following program characteristics and outcomes: target population served, the benefits of exemplary status to a vocational education program, the benefits to schools in which exemplary programs are located, exemplary program dissemination activities, ways in which schools learned of the availability of exemplary program funding, services provided by state staff to replication projects, characteristics of the exemplary and replication programs funded, levels of local support needed to supplement exemplary program funding, state-level benefits resulting from the project, and the feasibility of continuing the project. (Appendixes include criteria for an exemplary program in marketing and distributive education, an exemplary program dissemination proposal, the survey materials and interview guide used in the evaluation, case studies, and descriptions of 11 exemplary and 6 replication programs.)
