Abstract	The vocational education program at California State University at Long Beach received a three-year grant to design and field-test a training curriculum in the area of curriculum-based vocational assessment for secondary school students with handicaps. A series of eight training modules was developed during the first project year (June 1986 to May 1987). The modules dealt with the rationale for curriculum-based vocational assessment, technical concepts in assessment, steps in conducting a curriculum-based vocational assessment, and procedures for evaluating the curriculum-based vocational assessment process. Field testing of the training modules in a variety of preservice and inservice settings began in the last quarter of the first project year; it is slated for completion at the end of the second year (May 1988). The inservice field tests involved 38 vocational education and special services personnel at sites in three states. Preservice field testing involved six universities throughout the country. The following activities are scheduled for the third project year (June 1988 through May 1989): revision of the entire training curriculum based on evaluative data obtained from peserrvice and inservice testing; dissemination of the revised products at six workshops; and marketing of the materials by at least one and possibly two professional organizations. Appended are the module evaluation instrument, a product assessment checklist, and a trainer's log. (MN)
