Research and Development Project in Career Education. Final Report.
Norwalk Board of Education, CT.
Detailing the development of a sequential career education program for grades 4-12, the report describes the following program components and the techniques used to accomplish their objectives: guidance and counseling model program (grades 6-12), career awareness at the elementary level (grades 4 and 5), career orientation and exploratory experiences at the middle school level (grades 6-8), and the high school job preparation program. Third party evaluators from Teachers College, Columbia University concluded that the project achieved its basic goals and was generally enthusiastically accepted. Their evaluation included a report of the degree of success obtained for behavioral objectives at the elementary and middle school levels, elementary student evaluations, and results of the Career Development Inventory given at the high school. Eighteen detailed program recommendations are listed. A four-page reference list and a glossary are included. Appendixes (158 pages) contain: elementary and middle school goals, behavioral objectives and coordinated activities, a list of occupational cluster related activities, high school objectives, content of civics and experimental career guidance programs, conference and workshop schedules, the career development inventory, Columbia University's formative evaluation reports, reaction sheets from career education staff, career education brochure, and the research evaluation design.
