Subject: VocEd:Brigid Freeman (guest) Action Plan Proposals Part 1 - Starting Off:

Dear all,

As noted in a previous message (subject: VocEd: Where to from here? The new ASTF kit), Action Plan proposals essentially represent:

• your Strategic Plan, or Business Plan for the next stage of development of your school-workplace learning program/s;
  AND
  
• an application for (non-financial and financial) support to implement the ACTION PLAN, and facilitate initiatives at the local level in conjunction with program stakeholders.

• non-financial support requested;
• financial support requested for the period 1 September, 1998 to an end-date determined by you).

Alternatively, you may wish to lodge an ACTION PLAN proposal for the years 1999 - 2001, with an application for financial support for the years 1999 - 2001 (technically, 1 September, 1998 - 30 December, 2001).

If you're not sure what financial and non-financial support provisions may be available, these are outlined in the "Tools Catalogue" from "The New ASTF" kit.

ACTION PLAN proposals should be based on a self-assessment against the Quality Achievement Matrix part of the "Getting There" kit developed by the Australian Quality Council. The "Getting There" kit provides a comprehensive overview of this self-assessment process. [More news on this shortly]

Remember, ACTION PLAN proposals for 1999 must be lodged by 29th May, 1998.
