This report covers the second year of work by the National Center for Research in Vocational Education in assisting states to increase their ability to evaluate programs and services for special populations. The report also provides information on changes that have occurred in the total evaluation system of the participating states since the start of the project. The project procedure was to determine the extent to which a state was able to provide the necessary information to determine program effectiveness in serving individuals within these special groups identified by the Education Amendments of 1976: disadvantaged persons, handicapped persons, women, minorities, and persons with limited English proficiency. This set of information relates to the accessibility of programs, participation of special population individuals, the additional services provided, and the outcomes achieved. Following this analysis, each state was assisted to develop a plan for correcting the identified weakness and to specify the aid that the National Center team could provide. The publication gives a report on this process and the resultant improvements made in the states. The states aided were Alabama, Colorado, Maine, California, and Connecticut. (KC)
