Arizona's School to Work System. Site Visit Reports (1997-98).

This report provides an update on Arizona's 10 regional partnerships under a school-to-work (STW) implementation grant from the U.S. Departments of Labor and Education. The report profiles the status of each of the 10 regional STW partnerships as of the midpoint of the state's third year (1997-98) of STW implementation. Profiles are provided in alphabetical order and provide a brief description of the partnership's setting and status in relation to the state's six STW system goals. Evaluator impressions of the partnership's assets and challenges are included. Profiles are based primarily on information obtained during a site visit to each partnership conducted from February-April 1998. Information included in the reports was derived from interviews, observations, and written documentation provided by each partnership and enrollment data obtained from the Arizona Department of Education. An appendix to the report contains excerpts from the national "Progress Measures" instrument describing various levels of STW activities according to students' grade levels. (KC)
