In this document are a final report and a teacher's manual developed to assist General Educational Development (GED) program teachers in incorporating a focus on career planning and goal setting in the GED curriculum. The report notes how the manual was developed using the following methods: surveying past graduates, GED teachers, and present GED students to determine topics for workshops; choosing topics and finding appropriate materials and speakers; conducting field tests in three GED classrooms; writing, rewriting, revising, and printing the manual; and conducting staff development workshops and disseminating the manual. Workshops were considered very useful and important by GED teachers and students in field tests. Some students envisioned futures for themselves that they had never considered before. Introductory materials in the teacher's manual include notes to the teacher and a pretest. Materials are provided for a series of eight workshops, with a ninth chapter devoted to miscellaneous topics that need to be addressed. Examples for students to read are included within each section following the objective page. The objective page presents the objective, and a list of materials. Activities, suggestions for discussion, and recommended essay also are included in some workshops. The workshops cover the following topics: getting organized, self-exploration, goal setting, counseling and financial aid, job training programs, college, looking for a job, and overcoming barriers to success. Workshop #2 contains a booklist in Example C with 16 entries. Also, at the end of the document a list of resources contains 11 entries. (YLB)
