This manual is designed for the administrator or coordinator responsible for implementing the World of Related Knowledge and Educational Development (WORK-ED) program in a school district. (The program is a career education course of study for ninth graders designed to enable students who have not chosen the traditional college prep high school course to make career choices based on occupational information and ability to select goals.) The manual details all steps necessary to implement the program and provides the measuring devices for evaluating the program's success. Information and strategies necessary to achieve the program goals are discussed and include the following: rationale, objectives, needs assessment, resource specifications and start-up costs, staff involvement, training, surveys of students, teachers/counselors, community, and evaluation. Appendixes contain samples of all written materials necessary to implement the WORK-ED program. (TA)
