This guide, one of a series for various grade levels, contains Some Essential Learner Outcomes (SELOs) for career education in the primary grades in Minnesota. (The SELOs are selected samples of knowledge statements considered as essential learning outcomes for students in each of the subject areas taught in schools.) These SELOs for the primary grades are organized into seven management tasks, as follows: (1) awareness of self; (2) acquiring a sense of control over one's life; (3) identification with workers; (4) acquiring knowledge about workers; (5) acquiring interpersonal skills; (6) ability to present oneself objectively; and (7) acquiring respect for other people and the work they do. Each management task contains several performance objectives (e.g., "describe how the work of women and men is equally important"), further refined into enabling objectives (learning activities) such as "describe the changing roles of men in work and family." The guide also contains a map of the educational cooperative service units in Minnesota and background information on the Minnesota Career Education Incentive Program and the Minnesota Five-Year Career Education Plan.
