Development, implementation, and evaluation of a career education program in the high schools of Rome, Georgia are described. Evaluation of the career education program in tenth grade social studies and language arts courses was carried out through a subjective student rating and an objective analysis of Career Maturity Inventory (CMI) scores. Analysis of the student evaluations include the following: (1) Students perceived that their teachers discussed careers principally in the language arts and social studies classes, and (2) students perceived an active involvement and support of career education on the part of teachers, counselors, and through school programing. Analysis of CMI data shows evidence in support of a positive effect of the career education program on tenth grade students' career maturity. As a result of the first year's success, the following is planned: Social studies classes will be used exclusively for the program to accomplish greater classroom consistency. Counselors will be involved in classroom activities for all high school grades, integrating the counselor's activities more fully in the curricular program of the schools. These activities will relate curriculum to general career choices, develop an understanding of students' personal characteristics and values, and focus on individual career choices. A career record file will be maintained for each student in grades 7-12 including career goals, career plans, skills needed to learn, and jobs held. (TA)
