PCE/K-10 Activities for Career Education.

Overview & Synopsis

Intended for use by Marshall High School faculty as they integrate career education into their curriculum, the project notebook is based on the (Portland, Oregon) overall Area 2 program goals for career education which proposes that all children completing school should have sufficient knowledge and competencies to enter into a field of employment or an advanced training program in that field. The first section, goals and components, discusses K-10 activities in the areas of career awareness and career exploration. Also explained are the five components of career education at John Marshall High School (file folders, self understanding surveys, speakers, field trips, and resources). The remaining sections of the document describe the school's integrated career activities in the areas of art, business education, counseling, language arts (English), health and physical education, home economics, humanities, industrial education, math, modern languages, science, social studies, and special education. Concluding the document are a discussion of the functions and resources of the Career Planning Center (CPC), a description of self understanding survey instruments being utilized, and a list of additional resources available through Area 2 offices.
