A Developmental Assessment Program for Special Needs Students in Junior High School. Guidance Project. Final Report.
Rader, Martha S.
A project was designed to provide career development activities for selected educationally at-risk seventh graders in two target junior high schools in the Roanoke City Public School System, Virginia. The assumption was that career development activities that provide students with increased self-understanding, coupled with strategies involving the microcomputer and creative educational and counseling approaches, could assist in improving students' attitudes toward learning. Computers, selected software, and auxiliary equipment were purchased to aid in developing assessments of interests and values through computerized programs. A model for a computer-assisted assessment and a counseling program for seventh-grade students with special needs was developed and field-tested. A career development module was also designed that included selected guidance and counseling standards of learning in the personal/social and career development domains. (Appendixes include the developmental assessment model and career development module. The developmental model contains six activities; the career development module contains four. Each activity consists of the domain; title; student outcome; guidance/counseling objective, including standard of learning and skill; time requirement; a listing of necessary resources/supplies; and activity description. Student handouts are provided as needed. Career development module resource materials are also appended.) (YLB)
