Lincoln Career Education Project. June, 1973-June, 1976. Final Report.
Lincoln Public Schools, NE.
Description, data, and conclusions are presented for a 3-year career education program designed to assist the Lincoln, Nebraska, community and schools in implementing career education by providing leadership in developing a cooperatively designed plan and by providing management and support services to assist participants (cooperating educational agencies, businesses, industries, unions, governmental agencies, parents, and students) in executing the plan. Objectives, procedures followed, and project results and accomplishments are reported in detail with focus on activities related to needs assessment, systematic planning for curriculum infusion, staff development, community resource system, curriculum center, curriculum materials at all levels, career information centers, pupil data and monitoring system, assessing guidance needs, individualized career planning, and placement. The report includes the final evaluation report, which covered accomplishments of project staff, career education activities provided for students and the extent of student participation in the career education activities, and student outcomes associated with the career education activities. Major findings reported are these: (1) The project developed and implemented a number of mechanisms to support the career education efforts of teachers and schools, (2) the project has resulted in a significant increase in the number of career education activities within the district, and (3) there were no significant changes in the 10 student outcome measures incorporated into the evaluation design, i.e., students attending career education target schools did not differ from students attending control schools and there were no systematic differences between 1975 and 1976.Appendixes contain supplemental materials for the evaluation report.
