Career Education Competencies: A Catalog for Teacher Educators.

Overview & Synopsis

This document represents an effort to infuse career education into the pre-service certification programs on eight college campuses in New York State. The career education objectives presented can be used to train prospective teachers in the skills and techniques required to infuse career education in elementary, middle, and secondary schools. The objectives (112), obtained by a comprehensive review of the literature, are sequenced and classified into three major areas (which are subdivided into ten categories): (1) World of Work--career information, career identification, placement, theoretical material, interpersonal skills, (2) Planning/Implementation--instructional planning, community assessment, utilization of local resources, and (3) Evaluation--program evaluation, and student assessment. Each objective includes at least three activities, conditions for performing the activities, and a means of evaluating each activity. (TA)
