| Abstract | The Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI), in collaboration with the Rhode Island Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, developed a consortium which introduced tech prep to over 75% of the high schools statewide. The Tech Prep Associate Degree (TPAD) Program provides students with a concrete program of study which begins in 11th grade and concludes with the attainment of a two-year college degree. To assess the effectiveness of tech prep, quantitative and qualitative data were collected comparing tech prep and non-tech prep students. The data were collected through an examination of school records; on-site, informal interviews; and random telephone surveys. Of the 34 high schools participating in the TPAD program during 1993-94, 24 were involved in the study. The final high school student sample was composed of 1,115 11th and 12th grade tech prep students, and 235 non-tech prep students. Study findings included the following: (1) although TPAD students scored significantly lower than the comparison group prior to their participation in the program, they attained significantly higher grade point averages (GPAs) after their TPAD participation; (2) there was no significant difference between the graduation rates of the TPAD and non-TPAD students; (3) the postsecondary participation rate of TPAD students (60%) was higher than that of non-TPAD students (38.5%); (4) non-TPAD and TPAD students performed about the same in their first year of postsecondary education; and (5) 63% of high school students reported that TPAD had increased their motivation and that their grades had improved since they began their participation.
