Emerging Uses of Computers for Education:  An Overview of Tools and
Issues for Vocational Educators--M. Lewis
  Public  vocational education uses computers only in  a limited  way,
  due   in  part  to  limited  funding,  and  a  lack  of  appropriate
  expertise.   This  report  explores  feedback  from  a   sample   of
  vocational  educators,  which indicates  that  computers  could,  in
  fact,  be  very  helpful in vocational education,  if  the  barriers
  preventing their use were addressed.

Collaboration for Instruction of LEP Students in Vocational Education--
E. Platt, J. Shrawder
  A rapidly growing number of youth and adults in the United States
  have limited English ability.  This has implications for both the
  American economy and the educational system.  This document includes
  interviews with vocational and language teachers.  When these
  teachers collorate, students benefit.  Vocational classrooms can be
  ideal settings for English language development, and improved
  language skills make it easier for students to learn vocational
  skills.

  friends, and the responsibilities of participation in a democratic
  society.  Vocational education can play an important role in
  increasing the opportunitites and successes of this at-risk
  population.  To avoid duplication, many entries appearing in the
  first volume were omitted from this book.  For a comprehensive
  listing, readers may wish to obtain the first volume (MDS-111)

Two Worlds: Vocational and Academic Teachers in Comprehensive High
Schools--J.W. Little
  Vocational and academic teachers occupy two separate worlds in

  vocational teachers occupy in the professional community of high
  school.
