In this evaluation of the first year of the Exemplary Career Education Project for K-12 in Puerto Rico, the results of testing and interviewing school personnel and students in grades 1-2 and 7-9 at six regional pilot sites are reported. Six areas of student development are recognized by the evaluation questions: self awareness, basic academic/vocational skills, awareness of work values, awareness of and knowledge about work, career decision-making skills, and work habits. Based on the analysis of responses which showed the project to be successful in all six areas, twelve recommendations to modify the program are made, concentrating on the following areas: (1) the program's expansion to other schools; (2) improvement and creation of curriculum materials and courses for second and third grades and junior and senior high schools; (3) scheduling of the pre- and post-tests for evaluation; (4) school personnel development; (5) the role of the career education component; (6) program supervision; and (7) participation by the evaluators in discussions of their findings. As background, general information about the project's implementation and its objectives are included as well as extensive details about the methodology used for the study: its design, instruments, data collection procedures, and data analysis. The appendix contains copies of the tests, the interview schedule, and the project proposal. (ELG)
