Coordinator's Handbook. Research & Development Series No. 119-B. Career Planning Support System.
Lowry, Cheryl Meredith; And Others
This coordinator's handbook, one of a set of twelve documents describing the Career Planning Support System (CPSS) and its use, is designed as a project management tool and provides step-by-step procedures for planning, leading, and coordinating CPSS activities. (CPSS is a comprehensive guidance program management system which offers the school step-by-step directions in planning, developing, implementing, and evaluating an upgraded career guidance program that is compatible with student career development needs and resources available in the school and community.) Each of the eight chapters in this hand book deals with a major step in the CPSS process. In each chapter, the first part contains background information on the step in addition to information on parallel activities. The second part lists specific steps for planning, organizing, and accomplishing tasks; activities that the coordinator will monitor are included. The chapters are titled Getting Started, (focuses on selecting the steering and advisory committees), Assessing Resources, Assessing Needs: Surveying, Assessing Needs: Tabulation, Selecting Program Goals, Producing CDUs (Career Development Units), Reviewing Your Program Annually, and Reassessing Your Program. A sample trend graph for coordinator use and information on the CPSS Information File are appended. (TA)
