This teacher's manual provides teachers with an overview of the various learning packages that comprise the four-volume series of student workbooks entitled "Getting Your Foot in the Door." Dozens of introductory or follow-up activities are also included in this manual, which is designed as a do-it-yourself staff development course. The manual is organized by the seven learning packages divided among the four student workbooks. The learning packages are career planning/self-perception; career planning/values; communication; decision making; search, application, and interview; opening closed doors; and keeping a job. The introduction to each learning package is followed by the specific aims, suggestions for using the exercises in the student workbook, suggested activities, and additional activities. Appendixes include a listing of additional resources, sample lesson plans that emphasize how to infuse career education objectives into the basic curriculum, and a grid with learning package and page references, for activities that would best support objectives in language arts, social studies, science, mathematics, health, and business education.
