This teacher's handbook provides suggestions for organization and presentation of resource and instructional materials found in four occupational investigation guides available separately (see Note). Chapter 1 explains Texas Education Agency operations and the Occupational Investigation program and policies. Chapter 2 discusses public relations activities: working with school personnel and parents, utilizing media and community resources, and recruiting students. Need for and development and role of advisory committees are discussed in chapter 3. Chapter 4 provides suggestions for organizing instructional and resource materials, developing a filing system, and arranging and decorating the classroom. Chapter 5 presents alternate instructional methods, such as career study tours, career day/week, and guest speakers. Chapter 6, materials for classroom management, includes a basic course outline, unit teaching time schedule, and lesson planning guide. Chapter 7 contains basic education information, including requirements for high school graduation and descriptions of Texas vocational programs. Chapters 8 and 9 discuss issues related to working with handicapped students and offer guidelines and suggestions for eliminating sexism in the classroom. Appendixes, amounting to approximately one-half of the guide, include educational organization charts, program standards, and sample materials, such as news releases, letters, questionnaires, learning activity worksheets, and management forms.
