St. Paul-Minneapolis Exemplary Career Education Project. Final Report.
Saint Paul Public Schools, Minn.
The main focus of the Minneapolis component third year's activities (1976-77) was to expand the inservice programs to teachers and counselors district-wide. (The district includes twenty-four secondary schools, fifty-five elementary schools, and a number of alternative locations.) A career education conference in August and a television program in September were used to create interest in participation in fall and winter workshops (six elementary and three secondary workshops). Selections for the workshops were made so individual schools were represented by counselor/teacher teams, or a key person; 236 participated on a released-time basis. Private schools were invited to participate and were sent copies of all materials. During April through June the project concentrated in three main thrusts: (1) development of five elementary units of instruction and two secondary units relating to special student interest (through collaboration of guidance, social studies, ethnic cultural center, and women's studies personnel, (2) completion of evaluation efforts for teachers, counselors, and students, and (3) seeking and writing proposals for continuation funding for career education (with support made by the advisory committee, the work-education council, and the Chamber of Commerce for continuing the efforts made by the Minneapolis staff). The Career Resource Center (elementary and secondary materials) has been used on an on-going basis by teachers and counselors from all over the district, and resource centers are continuing to be established in other secondary schools (three established this year with technical assistance and materials from the project).
