Program Evaluation and Planning for the Vocational Education of Handicapped Students: Secondary, Post-Secondary Articulation.
Tindall, Lloyd W.
Project PEP (Program Evaluation and Planning: Evaluating Current Programs and Identifying Handicapped Students and Their Vocational Needs for 1977-82) was designed to help handicapped students ages 14-21 make the transition from secondary to vocational, technical, and adult education school (VTAE) in Wisconsin. Information was gathered to identify handicapped students and their vocational needs for 1977-82; the barriers which keep handicapped students from enrolling in and completing vocational courses; and successful techniques which work in teaching handicapped students. The results were used to provide a data base for special and vocational educators from the secondary schools and vocational administrators from Wisconsin's sixteen VTAE districts to jointly plan for educating the handicapped in each VTAE district. This core group of educators and administrators from each district continued to meet in order to articulate the development and improvement of vocational education for the handicapped and to develop a strategy to help secondary students enroll in VTAE schools. In addition to providing a data base for program improvement and development, project PEP helped establish many new liaisons between vocational and special educators and between secondary and VTAE personnel which can be valuable in helping to increase the number of handicapped students who obtain employable skills through VTAE classes.
