This document proposes a direction and strategies for using a total quality management approach to develop and implement standards for evaluating vocational education students and assessing programs throughout Michigan. Discussed in part 1 are the following: the terms "standards,""assessments," and "certification"; the need for skill standards; standards, assessments, and certification needed for the school-to-work transition; and skills needed for high-performance workplaces. In part 2, the role of standards and assessments in an adaptive system is outlined along with strategies for implementing and building quality into a system of education for work. Part 3 is a plan for building an education-for-work system. Described in part 4 are selected standard and assessment initiatives and activities of possible significance to current developments/implementation plans. Concluding the document are six recommendations of the Michigan Council on Vocational Education regarding developing a certification and assessment system for public education in Michigan. Appendixes constituting 50% of the document contain the following: discussion of standards in the Job Training Partnership Act; chart summarizing assessment/evaluation activities planned for 1995-1998; and texts of Section 104A of Public Act 130 and Public Act 289 of 1995, which amends the 1976 act governing public instruction in Michigan.
