Part of a course designed to acquaint high school students with basic information concerning careers in public service, this teacher's manual is one 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 rural, urban, and community development, one of eight major public service occupational groups covered in the course. Contents of the student guide are included: readings and related activities on the field in general, the job families within it (community action, planning, building and zoning, and land acquisition), and the worker qualifications and employment outlook for each. Additional teacher's pages are 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. (The accompanying student guide is CE 013 671. The total 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 whole four-quarter program, Applied Program of Public Service, CE 013 652.) (JT)
