Prickette, Karen
This resource and planning guide is designed to help Wisconsin school districts, community agency personnel, and education practitioners implement the designated vocational instruction (DVI) approach and thereby accelerate and enhance the ability of disabled students to meet specific instructional competencies and educational outcomes. The following topics are discussed in nine chapters: objectives and components of the DVI approach and the need for structured support services; strategies for gaining administrative support (DVI instructor and administrator roles); curriculum-based vocational assessment (collecting/using assessment data, implementing curriculum-based vocational assessment, developing a planning framework); development of instructional strategies (competency-based curriculum, motivational techniques, instructional strategies); collaboration; collaborative transition programming (principles of transition, state and federal interrelated transition laws, incorporating transition services into Individualized Education Programs); inservice training strategies (inservice planning/mechanics, effective information processing, troubleshooting); family involvement (involving parents in their children's education, understanding families' feelings, effective parent-teacher relationships); and skills employers want (acknowledging the problem, defining the skills employers want, solving the skills gap problem). End-of-chapter reference lists contain a total of 197 references. Appended are the following: transition needs assessment and information transmittal forms; functional skills inventory; and transition follow-up and program evaluation surveys. (MN)
