A study was conducted to evaluate the Boston Public Schools Career Exploration Project. The project model contained assumptions regarding need for a significant amount of funding, a teacher training program, phased implementation with a concentration of effort in pilot schools, substantial amounts of materials, creation of positions of leadership, creation of cross-disciplinary teams, and an evaluation component. The evaluation approach included 77 teacher interviews and 54 student interviews at the 12 pilot middle schools and 7 questionnaires completed by representatives of the 14 partial-implementation middle schools. Major findings and conclusions are (1) that the majority of teachers interviewed are using career education materials and have initiated career education activities in their classes, (2) that the program has increased communication among school team members but still needs to involve more school staff, parents, and representatives of the business community, and (3) that six of the pilot schools now have career information centers. Although the overall model for change was mainly supported by the findings, a refocusing of effort is needed in the next phase with regard to identification and use of students' career choices and interests; greater emphasis on curriculum adaptation and development by individual teachers; time for increasing staff involvement in program development and coordination; and coordination of Boston and State fiscal and program planning efforts.
