Rationale
The last two decades have been characterized by the
. ?
development of so many program innovations for schools that many
educators in North America and the United Kingdom were speaking
of a probable revolution in education. The assumption behind the
majority of these innovations was that a central development team
could design new curricula, 'new materials, and new approaches to
classroom organization which ?
would subsequently be used in a?
prescribed fashion by the receiving schools.
The truth, however, is that change in schools does not happen
that simply and does not occur that directly. In 1970, Goodlad
and Klein, researching curriculum innovations and change
in American schools, claimed that most of the most noted and
recommended projects developed during the sixties were dimly
conceived by teachers and, at best, only partially realized in
schools actually claimi-rg their use. It appeared that the novel
features seemed to be largely eliminated in the effort to twist
the innovative program into familiar conceptual schemes or
established patterns of schooling. In
1977,
Benham concluded that
North American schools were littered with the remains of innova-
tions that have all but been destroyed.
Why did so many innovations fail, or at best, produce only
minor change in schools? The answer is simply that innovations
introduced in schools are only proposals for change; to achieve
their intended effects, they must be implemented. Procedures for
o
?
implementation, rather than such things as the infusion of money,
the adoption of technology, or the availability of information
dominate, the outcomes of innovation. What happens during
implementation can make or break even carefully planned and
generally accepted program innovations.
The Province of British Columbia has developed and is in the
process of developing
?
curricula and selecting new curricular?
materials for all levels of schooling. The Ministry, district and
school administrators, and teachers are presently addressing the
problems' associated with implementation. Needed is a graduate
level course that will:
- examine examples of past experiences in school change
and program innovation;
- investigate probable reasons for the resistance to
change by educators;
- provide a theoretical rationale for the process of
implementation;
- clarify the role of change agents, teachers, administrators,
and evaluators during implementation;
- analyze implementation problem solving processes and
design strategies for action.
Three main areas of school program activities are generally
recognized; namely program development, implementation, and
• ?
evaluation. The proposed course has been designed to complement
Education 816:Developing Educational Programs, and Education 829:
Evaluation of Educational Practice.

 
Course Outline
1. The Implementation Problem - an introduction to the central
problem facing program developers - how to implement the program
in the face of resistance to change by the receiving school
situations a consideration of fundamental questions
examining when change is possible, is desirable, and is
worthwhile.
2.
The Implementation Experience - an overview of selected case
studies describing program implementation efforts; an
investigation of probable reasons for the resistance to or
the acceptance of change by educators.
3.
The Fundamental Elements of the Implementation Process - a
description of the implementation elements ( the innovation,.
the implementation agents, and the school or school district );
a description of the characteristics of each element necessary
for implementation.
4.
The Implementation Process: Planning and Action - a description
of the implementation process commencing with the decision to
adopt an innovation; an explanation of the functions of each
implementation element within the process and the anticipated
outcomes from the process.
5.
The School and Innovation - an analysis of the effects of
successful implementation on teachers and administrators;
an investigation into the relationships of innovation
implementation with the professional growth of teachers and
administrators, organizational development, and subsequent
program development; an introduction to innovation adaptations
and implementation evaluation.
6.
Practical Issues and Implementation - a discussion of some of
the practical concerns and questions; the identification or
development of strategies for action within given implementation
situations.
Calendar Information
The problems and practices associated with innovation
implementation. Among the concerns to be discussed are
the nature of change in a schooling context; the roles of
teachers, administrators, change agents, and evaluators
during implementation; and implementation problem solving
process and possible strategies for action.

Justification
Duringthe last decade there has been a shift in theoretical emphasis
to distinguish between occupational choice and vocational deci
. on making
career choice being one step in a vocational decision making process.
Accordingly, the emphasis in vocational counselling has shifted towards more
process-oriented counselling, stressing the ongoing aspects of vocational
development. As a result progrs have.emerged to promote vocational
awareness in K12 and an abundance of vocational information has become
available in the form of monographs, computerized information bases, and
pamphlets and brochures prepared by private sector industry. Much of this
information has been cross referenced to:prominent aptitude and interest
scales (e.g., DAT, GATB, SCll) so that knOwledgeable counsellors can use
the information in an integrated fashion. A problem arises in that many
counsellorsi (al seem unaware of the vast amoung of information available,
and/or (b) use the information at their disposal from a shallow theoretical
perspective. Often counsellors are not sufficiently familiar with the
procedures and instruments used in aptitude and interest assessments to
accomplish a valid merging of information. This results in counsellors
not utilizing all of the information at their disposal or worse yet,
attempting to synthesize the information without a sound theoretical base.
The result is often a one shot career choice approach which is not conducive
to lasting personal and job satisfaction.
For these reasons this graduate course will address four main goals..
1. To secure a theoretical base from which to view vocational counselling.
S ?
2. To develop a facility in the use of relevant assessment instruments
and procedures.
3.
To develop an awareness of available vocational information sources.
4.
To obtain supervised practise in integrating the above three goals.
The goals expressed in items 1 and 2 are viewed as prerequisite to the
activities subsumed under items 3 and 4. The focus in items 3 and 4
will .be on the implementing and operationalizing of the theoretical
background presented in 1 and 2.

The aforementioned course attempts to combine varying theoretical
perspectives on vocational development with the practical job placement
considerations facing most vocational counsellors. To this end a broad
range of references will be necessary to offer solid support for this
graduate level course. The following reference list is an attempt to
provide an extensive listing of related support materials. If library
funds permit the acquisition of all items on the list, then a solid foundation
will be available when students begin taking this course. However, if
library funds do not currently permit this acquisition, it would be
possible to spread the purchases over a 2-3 year period. To this end,
the items on the reference list have been priorized as: (1) those items.
?
necessary in an initial acquisition to make the course feasible,
(2) those items that are important sources but could wait to be purchased
until a second year, and (3) those items that are important but might be
used less frequently, and the acquisition could be postponed until a third
year. of course it would be assumed that new offerings in the area of
vocational counselling would be acquired as part of the library's regular
acquisition of new listings.
