Career Education in Burlington. Student Plans and Career Clusters (SPACC). Interim Report.
DiLego, Pasquale
Covering the Burlington school district's career education project for its first year from July 1975 through June 1976, the report describes a secondary program career education program emphasizing a combination of career clusters with student development plans. A sample population of 300 students from grades 7, 9, and 11 kept career folders and studied components of the career development model. An intensive inservice workshop program for teachers produced marked changes in practices and attitudes. Four project areas considered successful were the inservice workshop programs, the career development guidance model (student plans), counseling development, and acquisition of instructional materials to support career education concepts in the classroom. The third-party annual evaluation report gives tabulated results of pre- and posttesting of teachers, a sampling of student responses on values development, teacher evaluations of five inservice workshops, and recommendations for the next two years of the project. Principal recommendations were to further involve all secondary teachers and guidance counselors, to connect academic classes and teachers with the area vocational center, and to involve the local community. Appendixes contain a variety of project materials. (MF)
