Career Education Survey K-12. Battle Creek Public Schools, 1980-81.

Overview & Synopsis

This survey describes career education activities for grades K-12 and for reading and special education classes in the Battle Creek, Michigan Public Schools. Activities, purposes and resources of career education are given individually for kindergarten through grade six; junior and senior high school activities are listed in two other sections. Career education at the elementary level emphasizes understanding the relationships among different jobs, interdependency of jobs, good work attitudes, and the varied activities required of particular kinds of jobs. The secondary career education program highlights the content of particular school subjects which are relevant to increasing students' awareness of career alternatives. The special education career program features readiness activities that develop positive work habits and positive attitudes toward work by emphasizing high standards of performance, punctuality, reliability, responsibility and initiative, and acceptance of constructive criticism.
