Demonstrating the Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation of Developmental Guidance, Counseling, and Placement Components in a Career Education System. Final Report.
Mesa Public Schools, AZ.
In this final report, the demonstration project conducted by the Mesa schools from 1973 to 1976 is shown to have been successful in reaching its goals of staff training, information dissemination, and student benefits in developmental career guidance, counseling, and placement services for grades K-12. Student-related objectives which are listed for elementary and junior high school focused on inter- and intra-personal areas while those for high school centered on the "classical" career areas that aid in job searching. Through review of the project's development from its original proposal to its conclusions and implications upon completion, an overview is provided of its implementation by approximately 25,000 students, 36 counselors, and 200 teachers in both public and private schools. Evidence cited for the program's success include its substantive continuation within Mesa schools and external demands for its products, which include various free brochures, fifty-three career guidance units for students, and nine competency-based training packages for practitioners. An outside-party evaluation is included which contains separate assessments for elementary, junior, and senior high levels. Only one shortcoming is noted by the project director: the failure of the project to fulfill expectations in providing comprehensive placement services. A bibliography, financial reports, an annotated bibliography and price list for the unit products, and the booklet entitled "Career Guidance Strategies in Arizona" are included as appendixes. (ELG)
