The interim report describes the progress of the first year of a three-year exemplary project in career education beginning in 1973 and conducted by the Admiral Peary Area Vocational Technical School in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania. The purpose of the project was to develop a "reality bound" total K-14 educational continuum. The model consists of an elementary component, a middle school component, and a secondary school component. Other support activities are career guidance, postsecondary career education, community involvement, and test instrument development. The report presents the objectives and accomplishments of the program, a description of the project design, and a third party evaluation report, along with recommendations and conclusions. (NJ)
