Developed for teachers, coordinators, and administrators in Manitoba Public Schools, the guide provides ready access to information concerning work education. Information is organized into three major areas, differentiated by page color. Part 1, Emerging Trends in Preparing for the World of Work, discusses the philosophy and objectives, and defines terms. Part 2, Planning, Organizing, and Implementing Work Education, contains 21 topics which include: publicity; characteristics, qualifications, duties and responsibilities of staff; records and management; community and student surveys; selection of training stations; student placement and supervision; and evaluation. Part 3, Responsibilities, Liabilities, and Insurance, outlines the responsibilities of all participants including the department of education, school board, school, employer, community, and family. A bibliography lists books, microfiche, and other sources of pertinent information. Appendixes comprise 98 pages of the guide and contain 23 sample forms for use in implementing a work program. These include community and student survey instruments, promotional material, training agreement, detailed training plans for four jobs, and evaluation instruments. (RG)
