ABSTRACT: Since 1976, a special training program in
educational administration for persons with a professional
background in vocational education has been conducted at
Northern Illinois University. This program is known as the
New Opportunities in Vocational Education Project and has
an affirmative action emphasis. This supplemental report of
the project contains cases to be analyzed as a strategy for
providing administrative training. Each case included in
the book is based on situations which have been identified
as "real" or "typical" by practicing vocational education
administrators in Illinois. The different sets of
background information, which are suggested for use in
connection with the cases, include a diverse array of
possible administrative positions, administrator
characteristics, interfacing roles, and organizational
settings and characteristics. The casebook includes a
suggested format for dealing with each case, including
guides for selecting the different "givens" or background
information that might be used. In addition to the ten
cases, the casebook also includes comments on the casebook
and vocational education administration competency
development; a guide to use of the casebook; a listing of
related project documents; and an index to the cases. (KC)
