- Summary:
-
In order to meet the primary goal of providing students in the public elementary and secondary schools of Mississippi with a career-centered curriculum, these objectives were developed: (1) to develop and integrate career education activities into the curriculum; (2) to include guidance, placement, and follow-up programs; (3) to provide students with salable skills or college preparation; and (4) to establish a local planning and evaluation program. A sequential approach features innovative teaching techniques, such as job simulations, which utilize role playing, resource speakers, occupational songs and games, and self-awareness activities. Also included are skill training programs in nine specific occupational areas, an open-ended continuing education program, and both general and specific career exploration activities. Inservice teacher training programs, a school-community public relation program, decision-making activities, and the fused curriculum increased student interest, motivation, and program relevance. Continuation of the program was recommended. Extensive resource materials are included, as well as various suggestions for program improvement. (AG)
