The specific goals of the study are (1) to define the present and future needs of distributive education teacher-coordinators; (2) to determine whether these needs are being met by current teacher-preparation curricula; and (3) to suggest specific curriculum changes that would enhance the value of the Distributive Education Option at Montana State University. In defining the present and future needs of distributive education teacher-coordinators , and examining the way in which those needs are being fulfilled, the further goal of arriving at some general recommendations concerning curriculum development and revision nationwide will be realized.enMontana State University--BozemanEducation--CurriculaEvaluationDistributive educationProfessional PaperCopyright 1972 by Charles Stalnaker
