The Vocational Special Needs Support System is intended to identify students who are at risk of failing vocational and academic courses and prevent them from doing so. The system is designed to (1) identify these students' interests and aptitudes and assist them in selecting a high school program of study to match their career interests; (2) prepare teachers to recognize the students' interests and to coordinate instructional programs to meet students' individual needs; and (3) provide students with tutorial services for the purpose of remedial or repetitive instruction, if needed. The project was undertaken in the 1986-1987 school year to assist disabled, disadvantaged, and limited English proficient (LEP) students by developing their career awareness and preparation and coordinating the instruction they receive with their interests and aptitudes. The most successful part of the project was the remedial instruction, which was provided by three instructional aides. A total of 106 students were selected to receive assistance with instruction (74 LEP, 11 disabled, and 21 disadvantaged students) during the first year. A number of academic teachers at the school appeared willing to implement their part of the support system. Before any dramatic results can be obtained in the area of coordinating curricula and students' interests and aptitudes, however, the program will need to be in operation for a few more years. In addition, those teachers who have expressed an interest in the concept underlying the support system will need the full commitment and cooperation of the school's administration, vocational teachers, and curriculum department.
