An exemplary project was initiated in March of 1977 as a jointly operated project with Arrowhead Area Education Agency 5 and Iowa Central Community College. The purpose of the effort was to analyze the potential and demonstrate the components of the Experience-Based Career Education--Appalachia Education Laboratory (EBCE-AEL) model for mildly mentally disabled secondary students. The project included establishing procedures, editing and rewriting component parts, and developing experience sites, inservice training, implementation, and evaluation in all phases. Program components include the following: Cross-Reference Catalogs in Personal/Social Skills, Math, Career Education, and English/Communication (CE 019 711-714); Student Career Guide (CE 019 715); a Resource Person's Guide (CE 019 719) and a Learning Coordinator Guide (CE 019 720). (Other related documents include Experience Site Learning Guides [CE 019 717], and the Formative Evaluation Plan [CE 019 716].) (JH)
