A Pre-Vocational Developmental Program for Georgia's Area Vocational-Technical Schools.
Athens Area Vocational-Technical School, GA.
A model program was developed to provide remedial experiences that would allow individuals who fail to meet minimum entrance requirements for postsecondary vocational education to reach an acceptable level for admission into regular programs. The project encompassed three major areas of instruction: vocational/technical mathematics, vocational/technical communications, and vocational guidance. Entering students took a Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) and participated in an intake interview designed to set individual goals and develop an individually prescribed curriculum which could contain instruction in either or all of the three major curriculum areas. At the end of the individually prescribed program (approximately six weeks) the individual was re-evaluated with possible options of entry into a regular program, placement in an evaluation lab, referral to an outside agency, or recycling through the prevocational lab. During the first year's operation 106 people were served. Of these, fifty-eight completed their work and met required scores upon posttesting, with twenty-six enrolling in regular programs and thirty-two being placed on waiting lists for their particular program. Forty-eight students dropped out of pre-tech before completion. (Instructional materials used in the program are described, and charts, comparative tables, and statistical data on the students are included.) (BL)
