Career Development in the Education of the Deaf: A Program Model, Materials and Practices and Procedures for Preparing Teachers to Implement It. Final Technical Report. July 1, 1973 - August 30, 1975.
Rochester Univ., NY.
Conducted was a 3-year action research study designed to develop a career education program model and related instructional materials for deaf junior and senior high school students (12 - 18 years old) by the schools for the deaf in New York State. The overall objective for Phase I (1971 - 72) was the modification and adaptation of the Career Insights and Self Awareness Gaming materials (a series of vocational instructional activities based on occupational classifications utilized in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles) for use with hearing impaired learners. During Phase II (1972 - 73) a second component, the field visit, was introduced as part of the program, and an extensive survey of career opportunities for the deaf was conducted resulting in the identification of 805 job titles. During Phase III (1973 - 74) three more career education components were introduced: a set of 23 work function slides, a series of career briefs for deaf students, and classroom strategies for the exploration and clarification of work attitudes and values. In 1974, 43 educators from 20 schools for the deaf participated in a 2-week summer workshop at the University of Rochester. (Appended are such items as letters pertaining to the summer workshop, lists of participating schools, questionnaires, evaluations, and attitude measures.) (IM)
