as postsecondary (adult) students those individuals who have completed their secondary school education or who are beyond the age of compulsory attendance. Adult students in the career certificate or adult general education programs pay an annual $27.50 application fee. High school students are also admitted to the tech centers if they are 16 years of age or older and participate in the dual enrollment program or the GED Exit Option. Our goal is to provide each individual applicant with the necessary information and services to make realistic educational and career choices. Services include career information, career assessment, financial assistance and registration information. All tech centers comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1973 and strictly adhere to the nondiscrimination policy adopted by the School Board of Orange County. Reasonable accommodations can be made for special needs students. The admission process should be initiated at the tech center that the student plans to attend to avoid the requirement for additional application fees. Applicants having the interest and ability to benefit from a career training program are accepted on a nondiscriminatory basis. The prerequisites of programs may vary due to occupational requirements, licensing regulations and/or School Board policy. Licensure programs that require a high school diploma for entry do not accept either correspondence diplomas or diplomas from non-regionally accredited schools. Foreign diplomas are evaluated at the district office. An applicant of a health science program that requires a clinical experience training component in a hospital, nursing home or other health care facility must submit to a Level I criminal background check and may be required to submit to a Level II criminal background check as well as a drug screening test in some cases, in accordance with requirements set forth by The Joint Commission (TJC) and the Jessica Lunsford Act. The applicant is responsible for paying these costs even though the results may prevent enrollment into required clinical training experiences in these facilities. Other licensure programs may also require drug screenings or fees for liability or other insurance. Applicants are responsible for paying these costs. For additional admissions information, contact a counselor or advisor in the tech center Student Services Department or Office of Admissions. 9 ADULT STUDENT ADMISSIONS Adult Student Enrollment Processes and Options Prior to starting classes admission policies require that all applicants: • Take the Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE), where applicable. Test scores are valid for two years. Where not specified in law or rule, OCPS tech centers follow technical assistance recommendations established by the Florida Department of Education, Division of Career and Technical Education and other regulatory agencies. • Complete any required additional steps and/or formal interview with an additional staff member for admission. • Register for program, apply for financial assistance and/or pay fees (advisor or counselor will provide admission dates and current costs). • Complete the orientation process. Students seeking to enroll in a technical program who are exempt from basic skills assessment include those who possess a college degree at the associate in applied science (AAS) level or higher; have successfully completed or are exempt from the college-level communication and computation skills examination pursuant to s. 1008.29, F.S.; are exempt from the college entrylevel examination pursuant to s. 1008.29, F.S.; or are enrolled in an apprenticeship program that is registered with the Department of Education in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 446. Florida Statutes. Also accepted are official transcripts providing proof of acceptable forms of other assessments. Academic Assessment The Florida Legislature mandates that each student enrolled in a career certificate/diploma program must meet required basic academic skills levels in mathematics, language and reading in order to receive a Certificate of Completion or an Applied Technology Diploma. Students must take a state-approved basic skills assessment which measures basic academic skills levels; typically the Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE). The assessment is diagnostic rather than a pass or fail type of test and results are reflected in grade levels equivalencies, kindergarten through 12th grade. If a student has previously earned a degree (or is taking only one course), basic skills assessment may not be required. By providing all post high school educational documentation to the admissions staff, the need for basic skills assessment can be determined. After completing the basic skills assessment, a counselor or advisor reviews the results and develops an individual education plan with the student. Adult Education Students enrolling in Adult Basic Education or GED classes take the Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE) assessment in reading, math and language before being placed in a class. Students enrolling in Adult English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes take the Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment System (CASAS) Life and Work Series before being placed in a class. Both assessments are diagnostic in nature and results are reviewed by a counselor or advisor then used to determine program placement. General Education Development (GED) Testing Earn a State of Florida High School Diploma by successfully passing the General Educational Development (GED) test. The GED tests skills in Language Arts Writing, Language Arts Reading, Social Studies, Science and Mathematics. 10 Obtain an overall score of 2250 on the GED test and an average of 450 in each section (with no score lower than 410 on any section) to be eligible to receive a State of Florida High School Diploma. To be eligible for the GED test, you must be 18 years of age or have been granted special permission at age 16 or 17 and hold a valid government identification (Photo ID) document. The following documents are accepted: • Valid Florida or out-of-state Driver's License • Valid Florida ID Card • Valid Passport (up-to-date picture, not expired) • Military ID (not expired) • Government issued documents that include all these items: (Name of person ▪ Photograph ▪ Address ▪ Date of Birth ▪ Signature of person shown) The GED test is given at Mid Florida Tech. Examinees must register in person at any OCPS tech center campus and pay by cash or money order, a non-refundable $70.00 test fee for the full test battery. Please call tech centers for specific registration times, locations and GED test dates or call 407.317.3985 for recorded information, or visit www.ReinventMe.net. (Test dates and fees subject to change). Registration is on a first come-first served basis and testing capacity is limited. Examinees who do not meet State of Florida requirements on their initial testing may retest in the areas that are unsatisfactory. A new registration and test fee is required. During a calendar year, examinees that have made three attempts and have not obtained a total score of 2250 along with a standard score of 410 on each of the subtests cannot test until the following year. Special accommodation testing is available for individuals with a disability that would prevent taking the test under standard conditions. Contact the local GED Chief Examiner at 407.317.3200 ext. 2646 for more information. Testing in Spanish is available once a month. Contact the GED Office at 407.317.3200 ext. 2645 or 2882. 11 SECONDARY STUDENT ADMISSIONS Secondary Student Enrollment Processes and Options High school students should start the tech center admissions process by visiting with their high school guidance counselor. Dual Enrollment OCPS tech centers provide students with the opportunity to take technical classes (electives) while obtaining the required academic courses at the home high school. Students typically earn two or three credits per year by enrolling in a three-hour technical program at one of the four centers. Students who have completed credits in comparable technical courses at their high school may be given credit for those competencies enabling them to begin their technical program at an advanced level. Students may consult with their high school guidance counselor for additional information. Students who participate in a technical program of study through dual enrollment receive industry-level training in work-environment labs and may opt to participate in externships. Dual enrollment students may earn a certificate of completion and future college credits through an articulated program and are eligible to apply for scholarships for postsecondary training. To be eligible for dual enrollment a student must: • Be 16 years of age by the time school starts in August • Possess a 2.0 grade point average • Be on target for graduation and able to fit electives into half of the scheduled day • Have good attendance and discipline records • Consult with home high school guidance counselor and complete an application • Return parent permission forms with all signatures • Demonstrate readiness for career-level coursework using accepted assessment criteria • Meet all admissions requirements in a program in which space is available, and be registered by a counselor • Attend an orientation at the tech center • Obtain a parking permit if driving to campus • Be responsible for consumable costs and lab donations for supplies as specified by individual programs • Show proof of medical insurance upon enrollment Dual-enrolled students attend class part-time at their home school and enroll part-time in a career education program at a tech center campus or in one of the tech center programs located at a high school. Dual-enrolled students are exempt from paying tuition. Career Pathways This program offers students the opportunity to focus on secondary technical electives that will help train them for high skill, high wage occupations. At the same time, students can begin earning community college credits while attending high school. Students should take higher level academic courses while in this program and to maintain a “C” or better grade point average. See a high school counselor. 12 GED Exit Option GED Exit Option is a dropout prevention program offered by Orange County Public Schools. Students at risk of not graduating on schedule are provided the opportunity to earn a high school diploma by successfully completing both the FCAT and the GED while attending both academic and technical classes at an OCPS tech center.

High school guidance counselors can provide specific details about enrolling in this program. A referral from a guidance counselor is required. Youth Apprenticeship The Academy of Construction Technologies provides Youth Apprenticeship curriculum in electrical and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) trade areas. High school juniors and seniors attend a tech center as a dual enrollment student during the regular school year and are provided a paid summer on-the-job experience (OJT) between the junior and senior year. To be eligible for the Youth Apprenticeship program the student must: • Be 16 years of age • Have a GPA (grade point average) of 2.0 • Be on track to graduate from high school • Have good attendance and behavior records • Have an interest in the trades During the first year, students are taught tool and work safety, CPR and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements. Working with certified instructors both in the classroom and lab, students are required to pass written and performance tests to show ability to perform safely and accurately the skills needed in the trade. Youth apprentices are given the opportunity to interview with one of 50 industry contractors for summer OJT experience. At the completion of their summer experience, students will receive one elective credit. Second year apprentices take an advanced apprenticeship course with the opportunity (if their high school schedule allows) to continue their OJT experience. At the successful completion of two years, the student may receive one year of credit in the corresponding trade adult apprenticeship program. These electives are applied to graduation requirements and the awarding of the home high school diploma.

Students may be co-enrolled in a certificate career education program and Vocational Preparatory Instruction (VPI) or enrolled in an adult basic education and/or VPI class for remediation. Counselors or advisors utilize these guidelines and may use other assessment means to identify the person’s aptitudes and abilities for appropriate placement into an occupational program. Students without a high school diploma or equivalent will only be admitted into certificate career education programs that do not require a high school diploma. The student’s progress is monitored through instructor reports and periodic testing of basic academic skills. Progress reports, test scores and student training records are maintained in the student’s official record. Vocational Preparatory Instruction Vocational Preparatory Instruction (VPI) develops and upgrades the job-related, basic academic skills of students pursuing certificate career education training. The program’s major objectives are to enhance the student’s potential to be successful in the certificate career education program and in employment in accordance with the Florida legislature’s basic academic skills competency requirements. Students participate in VPI until achieving the required levels of competency in the basic academic skills areas of math, reading and/or language as documented by a state approved exam. Career Assessment Career Assessment is a systematic process of evaluating the career abilities, interests and aptitudes of the student in order to provide assistance in making informed decisions about a career choice. Career Counseling Counselors and advisors are available to assist with program information and career counseling. Students may receive assistance in the areas of career development, testing, test interpretation, financial assistance, and third party agency sponsors. Interpreter Services The sign language interpreter services are provided upon request to facilitate communication for students who are deaf/hearing impaired. The interpreter can be requested to assist at orientation, testing, counseling and classes. Students in need of an interpreter should contact the admissions office at Mid Florida Tech. Media Center The media center services are decentralized and located in each program area. Students may check out books. The media center contains reference material that support the various career and adult education programs. Work-Based Learning Work-based learning incorporates the advantages of concentrated and structured workplace experiences to link and strengthen school-based learning. It can significantly benefit any student, regardless of the student’s future education and career plans, by broadening understanding of practical applications of academics and the variety of promising careers available in the workplace. Students complete basic competencies in class and then, through the use of a detailed training plan, continue to complete their programs through work experiences. 16 Work-based learning creates an opportunity for students to interact with professionals in the company. The student gains experience in an actual work setting, works daily with an adult mentor, learns about career options, gets first-hand exposure to materials and equipment used in business and industry. The student observes demonstrations of work processes, learns new technical skills, and develops self-confidence about his/her ability to succeed in a high-skill, high-wage job. Options vary by program and instructors can provide additional information. Workplace Readiness and Employability Skills Employability skills are a component of each certificate career education program. Students receive training in organizing a job search, completing job applications, preparing resumes and cover letters, and learning job interview techniques. The Ready to Work Credential is awarded by the state of Florida to anyone who has successfully passed the designated assessments. Any Florida student or resident is eligible, at no cost, to earn this credential and will be considered equipped with the skills needed to enter the workforce. Contact a tech center for details.

The student may receive up to an additional 150 hours credit if the student is attending a program less than 750 hours in length. Credit for Previous Training A VA benefited student is required to transfer previous training credits from an accredited institution to one of the Orange County Public Schools tech centers. Credit for previous training will be evaluated by the instructor and granted, if appropriate. Upon acceptance of the transfer credits, the training time may be reduced. The DVA and the student will be notified if previous training credit is granted. The evaluation will be performed within the first 90 days of enrollment. Deferment of Fees Any veteran or other eligible student who receives VA benefits may be granted a deferment, if warranted, once per academic year. If, however, there is a break in training or a delay in the receipt of VA benefits, an additional deferment may be granted. The veteran will make a partial payment based on the school’s established procedures at the time of registration and the balance as scheduled by the Business Office. Failure to meet this obligation will result in the student being withdrawn from classes. For short term programs, balance is due no later than the last day of enrollment prior to receiving completion certificate. Deferments will not be granted when there are outstanding fees on a student’s account. 25 POLICIES AND PROCEDURES Additional information regarding policies, procedures, rules, regulations and guidelines is provided in the OCPS Tech Center Student Handbook.

Attendance Policy Students are expected to attend class, to derive maximum benefit from the instructional program, and to develop habits of punctuality, self discipline and responsibility. Student Leave of Absence Policy Tech centers may approve a student's request for a leave of absence during which time the student is considered enrolled. Certain conditions must be met. The student will not receive tuition reimbursements or credits for an approved leave of absence. For students receiving financial aid, the clock hours accrued during the approved leave of absence will not apply to their Pell Grant disbursement. 28 The student is considered withdrawn from school when: •The student chooses to leave without an approved Leave of Absence •The student fails to return to the Orange County school district tech center at the end of an approved Leave of Absence plus three (3) days. Outstanding fees resulting from a Return of Title IV calculation become the responsibility of the financial aid student. Student Conduct Enrollment at tech centers is voluntary. Once admitted to the school, the student has the obligation to adhere to the standards established by the school as long as there is no conflict with his/her legal rights. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a manner compatible with the lawful mission of a public institution. The Orange County Public Schools Code of Student Conduct applies to all students enrolled in tech centers and adult and community education centers. In order to establish reasonable consistency in the schools, a uniform Disciplinary Response Code has been developed and is included in The Code of Student Conduct. Student Dress Code The dress and grooming of Orange County Public Schools students shall contribute to the health and safety of the individual, promote a positive educational environment, and not disrupt the educational activities and processes of the school. These minimum standards of dress and grooming apply to all students in the public schools of Orange County. Some programs have specific dress code requirements. Student dress code guidelines can be found in the Student Handbook. HEALTH AND SAFETY Student Insurance All technical students must purchase accident insurance, through either the tech center or home high school, which covers them while in school-related activities. Student Assistance Family Empowerment Team (SAFE) Each center has a committee of faculty and staff members available to assist students who experience personal difficulties or challenges that may affect educational performance. Some issues brought to the SAFE committee or individual SAFE members may include alcohol or drug abuse, depression, lack of food or shelter, abuse or any other problems that might affect a student’s ability to function. The committee members have received supplemental training so they can better serve the special needs of students. Team member contact information is available from an instructor, counselor or staff member. Students can access drug and alcohol information by contacting a member of the SAFE Team or a counselor in the Student Services department. Consultation with or referral to a local agency that can provide additional assistance will be made at the student’s request. Orange County Public Schools 24-hour anonymous hotline number is available for reporting activity of gangs, drugs, guns, criminal acts and violence. Students may access the Orange County Speak Out Hotline number at 1-800.226.7733. 29 Campus Safety and Security Each center has a security plan and security personnel. The cooperation and involvement of every member of staff, student body, and all visitors on campus are absolutely necessary to ensure maximum safety and security of individuals and personal belongings. Drills will be conducted throughout the year to ensure everyone knows how to conduct themselves during an emergency. Campus Crisis Plan In the event of an extreme, dangerous situation, involving people in a life or death conflict, actual death or hostage, a comprehensive plan of action is in place at each campus to deal with such matters. This will be reviewed during student orientation or by classroom teachers during the first week of class. Should the need arise, notify the instructor or nearest staff member immediately. Federal Drug-Free School Act Federal legislation has been passed as part of the war on drugs. This legislation is intended to convey to students of any institution receiving federal funds (contracts, grants, student financial aid, etc.) the health risks which exist for those who abuse alcohol or drugs. In addition, penalties for those who violate school standards must be in place and consistently enforced. State law prohibits the consumption and/or possession of alcoholic beverages by persons younger than 21 years of age. The sale of alcoholic beverages to persons younger than 21 years of age is also prohibited. Tech Center Drug-Free School Summary Statement Standards of conduct and disciplinary sanctions to be imposed for the unlawful possession, use or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by tech center students on school property or as part of any of its activities will be enforced. The unlawful manufacture, distribution, possession or use of a controlled substance or the unlawful possession and use of alcohol is wrong, harmful, and prohibited in or on Orange County Public School owned and controlled property or as part of any of its activities. Any tech center student determined to have violated this policy shall be subject to disciplinary action for misconduct. No student is to report to class or any school activity while under the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol. Violation of these policies by a student will be reason for disciplinary action up to and including termination/expulsion, and/ or referral for prosecution consistent with local, state, and federal law. Source of text: Schools Without Drugs, U.S. Dept. of Education. In order to comply with the Federal Drug-Free Schools Act, the following descriptions are listed: Health Risks Associated with the Use of Illicit Drugs and Alcohol Abuse Every drug, including alcohol, is a potential poison which may cause disability and death if it is taken incorrectly into the body, consumed in wrong amounts or mixed indiscriminately with other drugs. Drugs cause physical and emotional dependence. Drugs and their harmful side effects can remain in the body long after use has stopped. The extent to which a drug is retained in the body depends on the drug’s chemical composition, that is whether or not it is fat-soluble. Fat-soluble drugs such as marijuana, phencyclidine (PCP), and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) seek out and settle in the fatty tissues. As a result, they build up in the fatty parts of the body such as the brain and reproductive system. Such accumulations of drugs and their slow release over time may cause delayed effects weeks, months and even years after drug use has stopped. There are many health risks associated with the use of illicit drugs and the abuse of alcohol including organic damage; impairment of brain activity, digestion, and blood circulation; impairment of physiological processes and mental functioning; and, physical and psychological dependence. Such use during pregnancy may cause spontaneous abortion, various birth defects or fetal alcohol syndrome. Additionally, the illicit use of drugs increases the risk of contracting hepatitis, AIDS and other infections. 30 Orange County Public Schools SCHOOL CALENDAR 2010 – 2011 August 16, 17, 19, 20 Teacher Preplanning August 18 Staff Development Day August 23 First Day of Class September 6 Labor Day (Student/Teacher Holiday) October 15 Statewide Professional Day Student Holiday/Teacher Non-Workday (Bad Weather Day #1) October 28 End 1st Marking Period (47 days) October 29 Student Holiday/Teacher Workday (Bad Weather Day #2) November 22 Student Holiday/Teacher Non-Workday November 23 Holiday November 24-26 Thanksgiving Holiday Dec. 20-Dec. 31 Winter Holiday January 17 Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday January 20 End 2nd Marking Period (43 days) January 21 Student Holiday/Teacher Workday (Bad Weather Day #3) January 24 1st day of the 2nd semester February 21 Presidents’ Holiday March 24 End 3rd Marking Period (43 days) March 25 Student Holiday/Teacher Workday (Bad Weather Day) March 28-April 1 Spring Holiday Student/Teacher Holiday April 4 Begin 4th Marking Period May 30 Student/Teacher Holiday June 8 End 4th Marking Period (47 days) and Last Day of Classes Reporting Period Grades Due Report Card Date First Marking Period (47 days) Ends: October 28, 2010 October 29, 2010 November 5, 2010 Second Marking Period (43 days) Ends: January 20, 2011 January 21, 2011 January 28, 2011 Students return from Winter Holidays on Monday, January 3, 2011 Third Marking Period (43 days) Ends: March 24, 2011 March 25, 2011 April 8, 2011 Students return from Spring Break on April 4, 2011 Fourth Marking Period (47 days) Ends: June 8, 2011 June 9, 2011 June 16, 2011 31 Special Notes ADMISSION, REGISTRATION AND CLASS SCHEDULES Admission and Registration Monday & Tuesday Wednesday & Thursday Friday Mid Florida Tech 7:30 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. 7:30 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. 7:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Orlando Tech 7:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. 7:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. 7:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Westside Tech 7:30 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. 7:30 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. 7:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Winter Park Tech 7:30 a.m. – 7:30 p.m. 7:30 a.m. – 7:30 p.m. 7:30 a.m. – 3:15 p.m. Winter Park Tech – Avalon Campus 7:30 a.m. – 7:30 p.m. 7:30 a.m. – 7:30 p.m. 7:30 a.m. – 3:15 p.m. Student Class Schedule – Day Period 1 Lunch Period 2 Mid Florida Tech 7:45 a.m. – 10:45 a.m. 10:45 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Orlando Tech – CTE 7:45 a.m. – 10:45 a.m. 10:45 a.m. – 11:15 a.m. 11:15 a.m. – 2:15 p.m. Orlando Tech – ABE/GED 8:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m 11:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Westside Tech 7:40 a.m. – 10:40 a.m. 10:40 a.m. – 11:20 a.m. 11:20 a.m. – 2:20 p.m. Winter Park Tech – CTE 7:45 a.m. – 10:45 a.m. 10:45 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Winter Park Tech – ABE/ESOL 7:45 a.m. – 10:45 a.m. 11:45 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. 10:45 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. 12:30 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. Winter Park Tech – Avalon Campus 7:45 a.m. – 10:45 a.m. 10:45 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Student Class Schedule – Late Afternoon/Evening Late Afternoon Evening Mid Florida Tech 3:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Orlando Tech – CTE 4:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. (Practical Nursing) 5:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Orlando Tech – ABE/GED 2:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. 5:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Westside Tech 3:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. 5:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. Winter Park Tech – CTE 5:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Winter Park Tech – ABE/ESOL 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Winter Park Tech – Avalon Campus 3:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. 5:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. 32 Adult Education Adult Education courses provide rigorous and relevant learning experiences to meet the educational needs of adults through literacy, high school completion, workforce preparation, personal development and technology.

DESCRIPTION GED tests were first developed in 1942 as a means to allow World War II veterans to complete high school. The tests of General Education Development, also called the GED, are used to measure the academic knowledge acquired by persons who have not completed a high school curriculum. While some students may have dropped out of school others may have faced certain hardships that prevented them from completing high school. Whatever the reason for not completing high school, most students discover that a high school diploma is essential for obtaining a long-term career. The GED was designed to provide an opportunity for adults who did not complete a formal high school program to certify their attainment of high school–level academic knowledge and skills and to earn their jurisdictions’ high school level equivalency credential, diploma, or certificate. According to the Digest of Education Statistics and GEDTS statistics, 1 of every 9 high school diplomas is a GED credential. Statistics also reveal that 1 out of every 20 first-year college students are GED graduates. GED instruction is coursework in five subject areas at the 9.0 to 12.0 grade levels. Students enroll in one or more of the following courses of study: writing, social studies, science, literature and mathematics. Successful completion of a course of study is determined by the official GED Examination. To successfully complete the program, students must take and pass all subject areas on a pre-test and the Official GED Examination with a minimum score of 410 on each test, an average score of 450 and a total score of 2250. PROGRAM OF STUDY The GED consists of five multiple-choice tests plus a timed essay test. The five subject areas covered by the GED are: • • • • • Language Arts, Reading Language Arts, Writing Social Studies Science Mathematics OUTCOME Among the many benefits of GED preparation, passing the GED Test provides an opportunity for adults to continue their education. The intended use of the GED credential is similar to that of a high school diploma—to qualify for jobs and job promotions, to enable further education and training, and to enhance an adult’s personal satisfaction. COST Most students enrolled in Adult General Education courses are fee-exempt. This includes: (1) a student who does not have a high school diploma or its equivalent, or (2) a student who has a high school diploma or its equivalent and who has academic skills below the ninth grade level as measured by the Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE). See GED Testing for the cost of the Official GED Examination.

DESCRIPTION The VPI program is designed to improve the probability of succeeding in the workplace for the vocational student whose lack of academic skills, knowledge, or positive attitude may have prevented success. The program begins by measuring the student’s basic skills and deficiencies (diagnosis); then develops an instructional prescription to remediate identified deficiencies based on the student’s learning style (prescription); and provides individualized instruction in the following four broad areas (remediation); along with constant feedback (evaluation). VPI provides for a diagnostic assessment of learning deficiencies and individualized prescriptive instruction and guidance for students who need special assistance to succeed in vocational education. The basic program encompasses a combination of instructional components consisting of reading, mathematics, language, critical thinking skills, complementary (life) skills, and workplace readiness skills. The VPI program is characterized by open entry/open exit, self-paced instructional modules related to the student’s occupational goal and learning styles, flexible scheduling, and performance-based (non-graded) evaluation. PROGRAM OF STUDY VPI incorporates the following areas of instruction: 1) Basic Skills (reading, mathematics, and language) 2) Academic Skills, as needed (science, social studies, and advanced math) 3) Workforce Readiness Skills (interviewing, resume writing, job-seeking and job-keeping skills, SCANS, etc.) 4) Complementary Skills (study skills, test-taking skills, note-taking skills, life skills, etc.) 5) Occupational Exploration (optional, but recommended) These areas of instruction are designed to enable students to benefit from occupational training. On an individual basis, help is given in setting goals, assessing learning difficulties, and prescribing learning modules to satisfy the needs of the student who would not otherwise be successful in a regular vocational program. OUTCOME The desired outcome of VPI is to enable students to succeed in vocational education and subsequent employment. This is accomplished through participation in VPI components designed to remedy individual academic deficiencies. Throughout the remediation process, academic concepts relevant to the workplace are emphasized and vocational courses are coordinated with academic instruction. Upon completion of their individual academic prescription, students progress into or continue with their desired technical program. COST Most students enrolled in Adult General Education courses are fee-exempt. This includes: (1) a student who does not have a high school diploma or its equivalent, or (2) a student who has a high school diploma or its equivalent and who has academic skills below the ninth grade level as measured by the Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE).
