Summarized are the outcomes of a needs assessment of the Career Education Pilot Project for grades K-14 conducted in the Orange County (California) Consortium. Interviews and questionnaires were used to obtain data from teachers, students, and parents on the target area as well as from 150 service agencies in the communities. Findings include: (1) Elementary teachers appear to be doing a more complete job of teaching work attitudes than are secondary teachers, (2) Teaching attitudes toward leisure time appear to be weaker at the secondary level, (3) Elementary teachers appear to be doing less than other teachers in encouraging questions on career information in class, (4) A large percentage of teachers at all grade levels and in all subject areas have not given students opportunities to solve problems and make decisions about career choices, (5) Less career awareness has been taught at the secondary level, (6) Economic awareness is taught more consistently at the elementary level, (7) The teaching of the educational and training requirements for occupations has not been adequately taught, (8) Other than the traditionally vocational subjects, there is little evidence of a written curriculum, and (9) Less than 6 percent of the elementary teachers and 21 percent of the secondary teachers have been involved in curriculum review.
