CEPAC Project Summary.
Nelson, William J.
The CEPAC Project (Career Education, a Process of Attitude Change) is a consortium in rural southwestern Colorado having as its purpose to infuse career education concepts into the primary and secondary level curriculum being taught by all teachers and to provide as many career options for students as possible. The project covers an area of approximately 20,000 square miles and includes seven school districts serving over 300 teachers and administrators and approximately 5,500 students. Since implementation of a comprehensive career education program requires that teachers and administrators undergo a change of attitude, an important component of the project is inservice programs. A career education cadre, comprised of four persons who have implemented the career education concept into their classes or administrative areas of responsibility, teach inservice workshops. The CEPAC program has many instructional materials developed by teachers as a result of workshops and classroom actvities. Job experience kits made up of simulation materials based on occupations available in the local area have been developed. Videotape and slide-cassette programs have been locally prepared by teachers, students, and career education staff. All radio programs and public relations efforts are taped for future use. (The titles and grade levels of career education units implemented during the 1974-75 academic year are appended. Many of these are available as separate documents.) (EM)
