The Instructional Support System for Occupational Education (ISSOE) project, conducted in New York, focused on (1) review of individualized education systems, (2) selection of appropriate occupational clusters, and (3) development and field testing of a system and materials. A product of the Managing Student Progress series of the ISSOE program, this handbook shows the options available for reporting student progress in occupational education programs, so that local educational agencies can select the option that will best fit their needs. It contains the optional data-collection forms for annotated individual education plans for each student and a class progress chart, and explains how to use them. This user's guide also explains schedules, processing and correction procedures for data collection, and includes a section explaining what to do if problems develop in reporting student progress.
