Catalyst: Handbook of Existing Career Education Programs and Facilitators.

Overview & Synopsis

The handbook presents a resource list of career education experts and successful career education programs with exemplary career education materials, to be used for planning career programs for deaf and hearing impaired students. It is explained that facilitators were trained as part of the National Project on Career Education (NPCE). After training, facilitators were responsible for offering training and consultation on career education in their local schools. It was found, however, that external agents of change were often needed to act as catalysts. Facilitators are identified in each state of the 10 Federal regions. Information on their position, address, education level, experience, handicap (if any) and interests or hobbies is given. Similar information is presented for the NPCE national training team. Contact persons for career education are listed by state, as are existing career education programs serving hearing impaired students. The final section presents summary data on 35 career education projects. (CL)
