Project RACE: Researched Activities for Career Education. Interim Report.
Weatherford Independent School District, TX.
Activities of the second year of a career education project in Weatherford, Texas from July 1974 to June 1975 are documented. A counseling component was established at all levels as well as the development of self-awareness and positive attitudes toward work at the K-7 level, career investigation experiences for grade 8, and exploratory experiences and placement and followup programs for students grades 9-12. As a result of the project, the concepts of career education have been widely accepted by teachers and students in the district. Community support for the program has continued to grow as evidenced by voluntary involvement and cooperation in career education activities. During this reported period, the teachers of the district completed a set of curriculum guides and idea books which were distributed to all teachers, K-7, and integrated into the academic disciplines. Appended are project-generated materials including elementary awareness guidelines, resource material listings, a senior level minicourse, senior career planning handbook, and placement and followup data, forms, and correspondence. A third party evaluation report is also included. (NJ)
