- Summary:
-
In a study of self-evaluated levels of competence of area vocational-technical school directors in Pennsylvania, the two areas of planning and leadership management were investigated plus the method of training with which skills in these two areas should be developed in future administrators. An evaluative instrument was developed and mailed to 75 directors of area vocational-technical schools in Pennsylvania. Information from the 64% of the sample responding was analyzed by computer. The findings revealed that administrators utilized 67% of their time in management activities and 33% in planning activities but felt that the ratio of time spent on these two activities should be equivalent. "Coordinating activities of the staff" was the task performed with the most confidence;"preparing a student bill of rights" and "updating student's role in decision making" were performed with the least confidence. Overall, planning activities were performed with less confidence than management activities. "Meeting the community's needs in job placement" was the activity that most administrators performed with competence. The lowest overall competence was "coordinating activities of the nonprofessional staff." Finance was the only area that administrators felt their performance with confidence and competence were equal. Finally, inservice training was felt to be the most effective method of training. (BM)
