Part of a course designed to acquaint high school students with basic information concerning careers in community service, this teacher's manual is the first of nine (each with accompanying student guide) which constitute a course entitled "Orientation to Public Service." Focus in the units covered by the manual is on self-analysis, decision making skills, and introduction to public service. Contents of the student guide are included (readings and related activities) with additional teacher's pages inserted for each unit. These contain lists of materials needed, purpose of the unit activities, notes on guidance, and suggested modifications or extensions of activities in the student guide. Answers to student self-check activities and other exercises are provided in the final section. Activities include a field trip to a public service agency, an occupational fair with speakers and displays from several public agencies, trait and self-analysis testings to aid students in assessing vocational interest, and potential selection by each student of two major occupational groups to study in depth. (The accompanying student guide is CE 013 655. The course is the first of a series of three developed as a comprehensive approach to vocational skill development in public service for Georgia high schools. Also available is a guide for the total four-quarter program, Applied Program of Public Service, CE 013 652.) (JT)
