Part of a 13-volume series designed to be used as a group inservice or a self-learning system to train school administrators and counselors for their role in career education, this module focuses on the factors which have led to the growth of the career education concepts. The module is one of six for administrators and four for counselors developed in Phase IV of a five-phase career education project in Hawaii. (A minimum of 20 to 30 workshop hours is suggested for the total program.) Module I contains a list of eight goals for the module, a suggested format and time frame (8 hours total) for activities (readings, exercises, etc.) related to each goal, and readings for participants on the following topics: Educational problems of youth, frustrations of youth who do not fit traditional patterns of educational expectations, concerns of various publics and business organizations toward the educational training of students, trends in career possibilities in Hawaii, cultural and social implications of careers, the evolutionary course of career education involving schools in the solution of these problems, components which make up the philosophy of career education, what other school districts have done in implementing this concept, and the Hawaii model for career education. A bibliography is included. (TA)
