Getting Started: A Guide to Writing Your Own Curriculum. The Pennsylvania Guide for Instructional Improvement through Career Education. Organizational Volume.
Cormany, Robert
Written to accompany a three-volume set of teaching activities, this guide provides recommendations for staffing, structuring, and equipping a career education program. The introduction discusses the purpose of the guide, career education in Pennsylvania, and several laws pertaining to career education. Chapter I deals with the roles of the administrator, counselor, teachers, department heads, and librarians in the development of career education program. Chapter II presents four approaches to implementing a career education program and discusses their advantages and disadvantages: A total coordinated program involving students at all grade levels; a unit within a major subject; a separate course in career education; and a series of loosely related activities. Chapter III makes suggestions for selecting and evaluating instructional materials, including printed, audiovisual, and assessment materials. In Chapter IV, external resources are discussed, for example: Vocational-technical schools, other district staff, the community, government agencies, and professional consultants. Chapter V covers management considerations such as staff inservice training, scheduling, grading, field trips, and financing. A summary and a bibliography conclude the document. (LMS)
