Resource Guide to Career Education in Colorado.

Overview & Synopsis

The resource guide to Colorado career education programs offers information on more than 50 school programs, obtained from a number of sources including a statewide assessment instrument administered by the 1974 Colorado State facilitator project and the Colorado Department of Education. It is not intended to be comprehensive. Information concerning the efforts of higher education was obtained through written inquiries to all Colorado postsecondary institutions and was compiled by the Office of the State Coordinator for Career Education. The elementary and secondary school career education programs are described in one-page formats which include: (1) school district, program title, grade level, population, and cost per pupil; (2) objectives, narrative description, and evaluation methods; and (3) availability of materials, special requirements, and information source. Postsecondary institutions were requested to indicate what resources they could provide for school districts or school personnel in career education. Their responses are listed, giving the on- and off-campus courses related to career education, the names of resource people, and any materials or other resources available through that institution. State career education resources are listed separately. A page of information on the 306 ESEA Title III Colorado State Facilitator Project is appended. (Author/AJ)
