Critical issues in career education are addressed in this report of an advisory committee seeking input and making recommendations for career education implementation in Iowa. Recommendations addressing state, area, and local school district responsibilities are grouped into three main perspectives: planning, implementation, and evaluation. The recommendations cover such areas as career awareness, curriculum development, encouragement of community involvement, staff training, and provision for evaluation. The report offers proposed state regulations on services and program management, on state and local responsibilities and facilities, and on funding. Separate sections provide an overview of the information base underlying the recommendations, and discuss the development and administration of the survey used to gather data and opinions. Survey results are tabulated, with comparison of mutual question responses from students, staff, parents, and area businesses. Minutes of committee meetings are also included. (CP)
