Assisting Students in Special Populations to be Successful in Career and Technical Education
Valerie Felder
(Michigan Department of Education, Career and Technical Education, USA)
Abstract: This paper provides insight on how Michigan Career and Technical Education high school programs benefit students within special populations categories. Career and technical education programs allow students to receive “real world”, “hands-on” learning experiences that allow them to transition into the workforce and/or postsecondary education. Special populations categories, which adhere to Perkins Federal Legislation, will be explained and information on supplementary services, accommodations and modifications that benefit students within these categories will be provided. Data of students within special populations categories and specific CTE programs that have assisted students in becoming successful will be presented.
Key words: special populations, Perkins, accommodations, modifications, career, education
