Abstract | Vocational staff from 10 Pennsylvania vocational schools were given information and instructional materials to enable them to create effective programs for disadvantaged populations. A needs assessment was conducted to identify specific needs of the participating vocational staff pertaining to programming for disadvantaged students. After identifying these needs, the project staff planned specific strategies and activities aimed at addressing them. Vocational personnel in the 10 area vocational-technical schools and many of their sending schools received specialized inservice training. Vocational and academic counselors attended two 2-day workshops conducted by the Penn State resource team. In addition, during weekly visits (two per week) from November through April 1987-88, a resource team provided on-site inservice training and instructional materials to vocational teachers, cooperative coordinators, and vocational counselors. The following topics were covered at the workshops: the Carl D. Perkins Act; vocational assessment instruments; basic skill development in vocational education; computer programs for special populations; vocational assessment of special needs students from a legislative perspective; a review of commercially available assessment instruments and work samples; development of local work samples and other assessment instruments; and use of data obtained from a vocational assessment.
