Covering the time period of July 1973 to June 1976, this report describes the procedures and results of a comprehensive career education project K-12 in the Des Moines Independent School District. The project consisted of the following 12 major components: Elementary, junior high school, senior high school, technical high school, handicapped career center, dropouts, career guidance services, placement and followup, vocational youth organizations, staff development, career information, and postsecondary career training. Activities included development of curriculum materials and handbooks and their pilot testing, establishment of career information centers and a placement center, inservice and staff development, increasing community awareness of career education, development of challenge exams, and development of handbooks for vocational youth organizations. The main body of the report lists the original goals with procedures followed, results, evaluation, and conclusions and recommendations. An appended section presents recommendations for a vocational preparation program for the handicapped divided into the three parts of recommendations for an expanded program, and general recommendations. The career information center survey form and project-developed brochures are also appended. (NJ)
