Penetrating School Strata through Career Education. Final Report.
Nolan, Richard D.
This is a final report of a 3-year project to modify the curriculum in the Bristol, Connecticut, school system by infusing career education concepts and practices into all subjects at all grade levels. The report includes a description of the four components of the project: Grades K-8, grades 9-12, development of job placement services, and establishment of a resource center on career education. The description covers background, objectives, design, and results of the study. Another section deals with conclusions, implications, and recommendations. Almost one-half of the document is devoted to a third party evaluator report prepared by New Educational Directions, Inc. The evaluator report includes an overview of the project, suggestions for other funded programs, comments about the fulfillment of objectives for the four components of the study, and evaluation of the procedures followed furing the project. Appendixes to the evaluator report include newspaper clippings and correspondence about the project, questionnaires, and the results of surveys of the community, principals, staff, and teachers. Attachments make up another large part of the document and include a sample curriculum guide entitled "Reducing Sex-Role Stereotyping Through Career Education" and other documents and brochures related to the four components of the study.
