Teacher Training for Career Education. Trainer's Manual.

Overview & Synopsis

The manual was developed through the combined efforts of the Maine University College of Education staff after carefully assessing the suggestions of Maine teachers who participated in a series of workshops conducted in the spring of 1974. It provides guidelines for planning a series of inservice training sessions for infusing career education concepts into the K-12 curriculum. The inservice program contains nine modules covering: (1) career education: historical antecedents (four lessons); (2) career development in the school (four lessons); (3) working with self-concept (one lesson); (4) career education in the elementary school (one lesson); (5) career education in the secondary school (one lesson); (6) strategies and practices for implementing career education (one lesson); (7) community involvement in career education (four lessons); (8) career education and economic education (one lesson); and (9) evaluation strategies in career education (three lessons). For each module a brief discussion of the main topic, goals, and lessons are provided. Each lesson outlines the goals, content, workshop leader activities, lesson resources, and recommended time. Charts, diagrams, learning activities, and evaluation procedures are interspersed throughout the document. A six-page career education bibliography concludes the document. (BP)
