Career Development Intensified Teacher Training Workshop for North Dakota Teacher Educators. Handbook for Teacher Education.

Overview & Synopsis

Based on the concept that career education can offer special meaning and motivation to each specialty within teacher education institutions, this handbook is designed for use by teacher educators from varied disciplines.

Additional suggestions are provided for making career education a part of the education sequence of courses. A "Teacher Career Education Course Outline" is included in the handbook along with a list of learning resources. The concluding section on implementing career education in the classroom includes activities which illustrate how career education concepts are infused into various subject areas. (MP)
