An evaluation was conducted to measure and assess student growth and development in the Second-Shift Program at the Johnstown Area Vocational-Technical School (Pennsylvania). The program was designed to provide educational services to students not generally accepted into the school's regular vocational program (eighteen of the forty participating students were identified as special education students), and was concerned with increasing the students' reading ability, computation skills, and familiarity with occupations. Appropriate evaluation instruments were administered to all subjects in the project, either as pretests and posttests or as posttests only. Evaluation project objectives were developed in the following areas: reading achievement as measured by grade level attainment, mathematics achievement, general educational development and achievement, interest in and attitude toward school, familiarity with occupations, interest in an occupational area, attitude toward relevance of academic subjects, decreases in discipline problems, and increases in school attendance. It was found that student achievement as measured by standardized reading and mathematics tests was significant; some students made dramatic advances with respect to grade level attainment; and student attitudes toward school improved significantly. Knowledge of and interest in occupations as measured by the posttest was at a level where much student development might be attributed to the program. (Appendixes contain the pre- and posttest school attitude assessment scale, the parent attitude assessment scale, and data for the occupational interest and knowledge survey.) (TA)
