TITLE: Expanding Options. A Model to Attract Secondary
Students into Nontraditional Vocational Programs. For
Emphasis in: Building Trades, Electronics, Health Services,
Machine Shop, Welding.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1981
NOTE: 158 p.
ABSTRACT: This model has been designed for use by Missouri
secondary schools in attracting females and males into
nontraditional occupational programs. The research-based
strategies are intended for implementation in the following
areas: attracting females into building trades, electronics,
machine shop, and welding; and males into secondary health
services. The model is organized in nine sections. The
introductory section contains reasons for recruiting
nontraditional workers, a summary of legislation pertinent
to equal opportunity, and instructions for using the
materials. In section 2, background information and research
findings relating to influencing enrollment of
nontraditional students are provided, setting the stage for
the strategies for increasing nontraditional enrollments,
evolved from research, which follow in section 3. Sections 4
7 contain transparency masters; activities for
action/discussion use in classrooms; student activities,
inservice training, and parent meetings; activity sheets to
be used with the activities; and a list of audiovisual and
printed resource materials. The final two sections of the
manual--action planning and evaluation--provide instructions
to aid the teacher in assessing the group's position,
selecting strategies, and implementing activities necessary
to carry out each strategy; plus six evaluation sheets (both
process and product oriented.) (KC)

This is an ERIC database document. ERIC is the National
Education Information Network for providing ready access
to the literature of education -descriptions of exemplary
programs, research and development efforts, and related
information that can be used in developing more effective
educational programs. The ERIC database is currently
available on CD-ROM in the main library (ground floor of
the west wing) at Michigan State University. To locate
ERIC documents in the library identify the first line of
each record (i.e., the field ERIC TITLE NUMBER). ED
following ERIC TITLE NUMBER indicates an ERIC document,
an unpublished research study. Most of these items are
available in the Microforms library, located on the 3rd
floor of the west wing. All you need is the six digit ED
number. If EJ follows ERIC TITLE NUMBER the item is a
journal article. The complete journal name is listed after
the code JOURNAL.
