This handbook provides suggestions for learning activities that teachers can use in providing an experience-based prevocational career education program such as the Study of Work Project that was conducted at Eastside High School in Paterson, New Jersey. The emphasis of the handbook is on developing connections between skill acquisition in the classroom and skill application in occupational settings. The guide is organized into four sections. The first section covers infusion of the study of work into regular classroom courses in subjects such as English, mathematics, and science. In the second section, ideas are provided for conducting classroom-based experiential learning about work roles. Some of the activities include the use of community resource people in making classroom presentations, peer teaching about personal work roles, career decision-making units, and team learning projects. The third section contains learning activities for a community-based approach to learning about work roles. Included are activities such as group visits to local work sites, small group learning projects in the community, and half-day shadowing experiences. The final section of the handbook contains information about setting up various types of internships for students. (KC)
