Career Education: A Report on a State-Funded In-Service Education Project Conducted by the Louisiana State University College of Education and School of Vocational Education. Research Report. Vol. 4, No. 4.

Overview & Synopsis

The report provides statistical data on the evaluation of an in-service career education workshop. The workshop comprised five content sessions dealing with: concepts and applications of career education to public schools; application of career education to public education and to teacher preparation; career education concepts and applications to public education; consultation with faculty about career education; and career education in Atlanta, Georgia, and in teacher education at Valdosta State College. Participants in the workshop completed an evaluation form (included in the report) which recorded demographic information on the participants and participants' opinions of the content sessions. It also asked whether the participants would, as a result of the workshop, re-examine their attitudes toward career education, their teaching methodologies, and their goals for education. The report concludes with a summary of selected workshop outcomes and other related activities. (PR)
