Career Development and Meaningful Exploratory Experiences to Middle School Students in Southern Indiana Utilizing Mobile Design Educational Units. Final Report.
Indiana State Board of Vocational and Technical Education, Indianapolis.
A K-12 career education project involving thirty-eight school corporations in Southwestern Indiana had several objectives, including developing a concept of career education, developing career education materials, developing a career education model for rural settings, and increasing the utilization of existing school and community resources. The project activities included the following: consultants were assigned to each school, teacher inservice programs and workshops were conducted, mobile units equipped with soft and hard career materials were made available to teachers and students, a resource catalog of career materials was developed, and an infusion manual on implementing career education concepts into the traditional curriculum was developed. As a result of the project, the concept of career education gained acceptance, teachers and students became better informed about career opportunities, a model of career education for rural settings was developed, a secondary school student placement model was developed, teachers were exposed to ways career concepts may be integrated into the subject areas, community resources were identified and utilized, and a large population became acquainted with available career education materials through the mobile units. (The appendix comprises most of this report and includes a newsletter copy, a teaching unit sample, the infusion manual, K-12 performance objectives, the placement model, and the project evaluation report.)
