This manual was written to assist communities, especially in Arkansas, in developing an educators-in-industry program, a graduate credit course that gives educators firsthand knowledge of the nature and range of employment in their regions. The guide contains 17 sections that give advice on how to set up and conduct the program. The guidelines presented suggest the following 12 action steps: hold an exploratory meeting, enlist university sponsorship, form an advisory committee, determine the objectives, prepare a fact sheet, enlist the host sites, contact the school districts, hold an orientation meeting, determine the semester schedule, determine the finances, issue news releases, and prepare materials (such as course outlines, schedules, grading systems, evaluation forms, maps, agendas, and handouts). The final five sections concern activities during the semester, publicity, the concluding banquet, certificates, and evaluations. Appendixes include questions and answers on the program, sample correspondence, agendas and schedules, course outlines, evaluation forms, newspaper articles, and other supplementary materials. (KC)
