Designed to be used in conjunction with the curriculum and procedural materials of the three instructional components in the Research for Better Schools' (RBS) career education program, this series of administrative guides is composed of four items. The RBS introductory manual explains experience-based career education (EBCE) and the RBS approach to CBCE. The implementation planning guide presents the basic steps for local school administrators and staff to follow to install RBS career education and an overview of the RBS approach to the implementation and diffusion of the program. In addition, comments on procedures, anticipated outcomes, and suggested timelines are given with each step. The conceptual guide examines educational and social issues underlying the RBS program to provide local developers with an awareness of the scope of the problem and of the context and limitations of the RBS approach. The final item, the RBS evaluation planning manual, focuses on procedures and issues central to planning the evaluation of an educational program. (LRA)
