CTE Student Services Coordinators

The Special Populations program is a federally funded program which provides remediation to students in career and technical classes.  The Carl D. Perkins Act of 2006 identifies six categories of students of special populations that are to benefit from this program:

  • Individuals with disabilities

  • Individuals from economically disadvantaged families, including foster children

  • Individuals preparing for nontraditional fields

  • Single parents, including single pregnant women

  • Displaced homemakers

  • Individuals with limited English proficiency

Special Populations' services focus on recruitment, enrollment, instruction, retention, completion, placement, and follow-up of special populations preparing for high skill, high wage occupations and/or nontraditional services employment in new and emerging careers.  The purpose of instructional services rendered by special populations personnel is to enable special populations students to experience success in their chosen career and technical education programs.  Student Services Coordinators may provide instruction for the disadvantaged career and technical student in areas including mathematics, reading and writing in addition to any assitance needed in their career and technical classes.  The instruction is coordinated with the career and technical instructor and services are delivered concurrently with enrollment in a career and technical education program. 

A diverse method of instruction is used in providing services to those identified students.  Students receive a variety of instructions ranging from individualized instruction to updated computer remediation programs.  This process is to ensure that those students master competencies and learn employability skills to prepare them for post-secondary opportunities and to assist them in becoming successful in the world of work.

NTHS honors student achievement and leadership in career and technical education, promotes educational excellence, awards scholarships, and enhances career opportunities for the NTHS membership.
