Abstract | A study was conducted on a national basis to identify and verify the competencies needed by administrators of secondary and postsecondary vocational and technical education programs. The survey instrument used in the study was developed at a 3-day Developing a Curriculum (DACUM) workshop that was attended by 11 expert secondary and postsecondary administrators from 6 states. The DACUM committee identified 210 tasks that were eventually clustered into 12 duty areas. The questionnaire was then sent to 188 administrators, 128 of whom returned usable questionnaires. Of the 210 task statements included on the questionnaire, 201 were verified as being important. A group of 35 new task statements was selected to form the basis for developing additional competency-based modules and guides for use by vocational-technical education administrators. This report consists of a detailed description of the validation study and 11 appendixes which make up the bulk of the document. These include the Administrator Task Inventory; a summary of the administrators' responses in terms of the perceived importance and difficulty of each of the tasks; competencies important to local vocational education administrators; significant differences in the importance of administrative tasks as perceived by (1) secondary- versus postsecondary-level administrators, (2) vocational administrators versus administrators of both general and vocational programs (with no distinction between administrators of secondary and postsecondary programs), (3) vocational administrators versus administrators of both general and vocational programs at the secondary level, and (4) vocational administrators versus administrators of both general and vocational programs at the postsecondary level; and recommended additions and modifications to the task statements.
