Mainstreaming the Handicapped in Vocational Education. Developing a General Understanding.
Weisgerber, Robert
One of a series of seven modules developed to improve the knowledge and skills of vocational educators who are or will become involved in the instruction of handicapped students in regular (mainstream) classes, this module is intended for inservice training of vocational educators working at the secondary level, and focuses on (1) acquainting vocational educators with the ethical and legal rights of the handicapped to vocational education services (section 1), (2) familiarizing vocational educators with particular handicapping conditions, including terminology, variations in severity, and differing capabilities of handicapped students (section 2), (3) acquainting vocational educators with the components (planning, instructional design, and evaluation) of vocational education programs for the handicapped and providing illustrations from existing mainstreaming efforts for the various handicapped categories being considered (sections 3 and 4), and (4) acquainting vocational educators with resource and referral agencies and various publications available to aid them in the instruction of handicapped students (covered in the resource section). A final assessment section provides questions to serve as a check of general understanding of instructional considerations in teaching the handicapped. (Author/HD)
