Project Career Exploration 7-10. Research and Development in Career Education. Final Report [microform]

During the period from January 19, 1972 to July 19, 1973, the Portland, Oregon, schools involved in Project Career Exploration 7-10 (PCE7-10) have focused on the goal of providing for every student in grades 7-10 the opportunity to explore, through hands-on experiences, many jobs found in broad families of occupations, with the aim of enabling each student to make an informed, though tentative, choice of a cluster-based skill training program in which to participate, beginning at grade 11. The procedure followed, the goals and objectives of the project, its results and accomplishments, and conclusions, implications, and recommendations are outlined in the first twelve pages of the document. The remainder of the document consists of appendixes, including a 40-page independent evaluation. (Author/SA)
