K-8 Career Awareness/Exploration Curriculum Materials. Final Report.
Grimes, Daniel B.
To assist local school districts by making available curriculum materials that can be incorporated into the regular instructional program, a set of career awareness curriculum kits were developed by elementary and junior high school teachers in Oregon for grades K-8. The curriculum was based upon five program goals which were mastered by a set of course goals, performance indicators, instructional goals, and classroom activities (220 activities make up the heart of the curriculum kit.) The program goals were stated as follows: identify and develop attitudes about the world of work; acquire knowledge about the world of work; identify individuality and continue to develop a relationship with occupational roles; develop skills in decision making, communicating, and creating as related to the world of work; and develop physical and mental skills related to occupational roles. The curriculum kits were field tested by 160 teachers and 4,000 students. Based on the results of the field test, the kits were revised and then printed for distribution and marketing. Finally, recommendations were made to state education agencies and/or local education agencies wishing to adopt/adapt the curriculum. (The curriculum materials are available in ten separate documents, CE 014 951-960). (BM)
