Seven phases are outlined for implementing career education in Kansas school districts, with suggested steps included under each phase. For example, Phase I: Pre-Commitment, consists of the following steps: Discuss concept of career education with board, introduce concept to staff and students, and obtain commitment decision from board. The rest of the phases and steps are as follows: Phase II: General Planning (select and organize steering committee and advisory council, identify perceived needs, and conduct goal setting and prioritizing process); Phase III: Program Planning (obtain board approval of goals and planning budget to continue, select and organize ad hoc committees, identify expected student outcomes, identify all constraints, and give interim report); Phase IV: Assessment (write operational and instructional objectives, and develop or identify pretest instrument); Phase V: Pilot Program (develop inservice for staff, infuse program into identified curricula, and modify planned program); Phase VI: Implementation (develop inservice for staff, and implement program); and Phase VII: Evaluation (evaluate effectiveness of program, modify actual program, and recycle program). The guide suggests that each phase should involve students, staff, and community. Appendixes include survey forms on career education for the school board, administration, staff, community, and students; a list of contact personnel for career education exemplary projects; definitions; a bibliography; and other related material.
