Career Oriented Education Project. Final Report.
Broderius, Bruce W.
The final report of the exemplary project in vocational education, which ended June 30, 1976 in the Greeley area of Colorado presents, reviews, and evaluates the efforts toward career education implementation in the curricula of Weld County School District Six, the University of Northern Colorado (UNC) College of Education, and the UNC Laboratory School. Among the accomplishments reported were the development of three career education centers to increase counseling services and provide career-oriented materials, staff inservice programs, acquisition and development of instructional materials, use of community resources, emphasis on career education in the UNC, and a study of student job placement needs. The third-party evaluation results are also presented. Major conclusions were that there were no significantly higher performance scores for the treatment students; some attitude change was noted in teachers; and university faculty awareness was somewhat increased. The guidance newsletter appeared to have no impact on student knowledge. Although quantitative evaluation findings were not positive, it was felt that the project did achieve improved knowledge and attitudes toward career education. Some project materials are appended.
