Schweder, Heather A.
This publication is intended to provide educators and business leaders with examples of school-to-career activities that use computer-based and other technologies to enrich and enhance learning about the world of work. The five specific topics are as follows: (1) school-to-career partnerships; (2) bringing the world of work to the classroom; (3) technology and active learning experiences; (4) professional development for teachers; and (5) systemic school-to-career initiatives. Each section of this publication describes ways in which technology can be a partner to support student achievement and prepare young people with skills they will need to succeed in the workplace. For easy reference, a contents page precedes each section, highlighting key topics of interest to business leaders and educators. Wherever possible, website addresses are provided for these programs. A resources list is appended to assist in contacting 33 organizations cited in the publication. (YLB)
