Designed for a 90- or l80-day middle/junior high school career orientation course, this student activity book and the accompanying teacher's guide focus on how personal needs can be met in the career world. Course goals listed are as follows: (1) to increase understanding of self by helping students analyze personal interests, abilities, values, and needs relative to their life roles, (2) to become aware of work styles (the ways in which people work) and how they are related to the personality characteristics, (3) to provide orientation to the fifteen U.S. Office of Education occupational clusters and their relationship to work modes, and (4) to provide opportunities for the synthesis of self, work styles, and cluster interests relative to the selection of career-related experiences both in and out of school. Each of the fifty-one lessons contains some cognitive material (readings, notes, etc.) and one or more tasks (learning activities) providing a wide range of flexibility in student participation including individual and group work. Some include written exercises. Many are psychomotor in nature. Framework for the course is based on six work modes or styles (mechanical, conventional, enterprising, social, investigative, and creative) and on the fifteen USOE occupational clusters. Appended are a list of vocabulary words identified in the various lessons, a glossary, lists of 4-H activities, Scout badges, and hobbies, a list of reading resources, and other sources of occupational information.
