The publication, prepared as a result of two workshops sponsored by the West Virginia State Department of Education, consists of a guide to be used by local programs to give direction toward comprehensive career education. Reactions to national and State developments, suggestions, and information are provided on the following items: (1) identifying the basic components and concepts of career education, (2) developing a model which would facilitate the development of career education, (3) identifying goals and objectives of career education, and (4) identifying action steps for implementing career education. Matrix models provide some examples of the outcomes which would be contained in each of the areas of family, community, and school concerning the individual's development of skills, attitudes, and knowledge at the three developmental levels of career education (career awareness, career exploration, and the world of work). Specific instructions for using the matrix model, activities, objectives, and facilitating methods worksheets are contained in the appendix. (Author/MW)
