High School Curriculum Guide.

Overview & Synopsis

Resulting in part from a project designed to identify and describe comprehensive programs of excellence in career education, this curriculum guide is the fourth in a series describing current, successful career education practices. Intended for high school teachers, this monograph is a guide to the career education concept and the process for implementation in the secondary curriculum. Among the topics discussed are: (1) rationale for career education, including a definition of career education and problems associated with implementing a career education program, (2) 10 processes for implementing a career education program, including such processes as using advisory committees, providing job-related training, using the community as learning space, organizing student clubs, and charting student progress, and (3) necessary changes to ensure successful implementation, such as staff and curriculum changes.
