The curriculum guide is a product of the Alpine School District (American Fork, Utah) program to integrate career education concepts into the curriculum of all junior high schools in the district. The guide offers teacher-developed materials designed to help seventh grade students become aware of the dignity of work and to explore the world of careers. The semester length guide contains lesson plans for the following units: (1) introduction and preparation for career education; (2) school and study habits (to be integrated with English classes); (3) learning about self and others (to be integrated with health classes); (4) introduction to the world of work; (5) self-analysis for career selection; (6) personal preparation for jobs; and (7) preparing for changing times. Behavioral objectives, classroom procedures, instructional materials needed, student evaluation methods, home-community activities and, in many cases, other suggested activities and materials are presented for each lesson plan. Supplemental classroom procedures and activities and worksheets accompany many lesson plans. (BP)
