Abstract: As part of the National Assessment of vocational Education, the study to assess the quality of vocational education purposes to conduct a natinally representative survey of high school teachers. The 30-minutes survey will examine the prevalence of promising instructional practices recommended in the 1998 Perkins Act. It will assess differences in practice between academic and vocational teachers and comprehensive and vocational high schools. Findings from the survey will be incorporated into a report on secondary school vocational education.
