Trainer's Guide to Life Centered Career Education.
Brolin, Donn E.; And Others
Intended for administrators, the guide provides directions and materials for a series of workshops aimed at creating a team of people including educators, parents, and community workers, who can develop and monitor a career education program for handicapped students in secondary schools. The first of five sections gives an overview of the program components such as the workshop objectives and other preparatory and operational considerations. Chapter 2, on personnel responsibilities, contains information needed by personnel to become effective group facilitators, presentors, leaders, and participants in their specific workshop roles. A third chapter explains how a career education plan can be developed and implemented in secondary schools. Provided in Chapter 4 are specific procedures and measures related to conducting a needs assessment study, evaluating workshop effectiveness, and evaluating student competency attainment. A final chapter, which makes up the bulk of the document, outlines the content of each of 20 sessions with information on goals, objectives, activities, preparation, special considerations, and role of the trainer. Workshop topics include instructional strategies, community resources, the individualized education program, and student assessment. Appended are copies of baseline instruments, transaction instruments, outcome instruments, and an example of a career education plan. (SBH)
