Intended to disseminate information about products and processes which have an impact on student needs, the handbook is a compilation of 40 selected research and exemplary projects conducted in Oregon during fiscal years 1970 through 1975. Each practice was selected according to the following criteria: (1) It addresses a significant problem in career education; (2) it is effective in its environment; and (3) it is transportable. The practices are grouped in four sections: career awareness, career exploration, career preparation, and career specialization. For each practice, the information presented includes: a brief project description, materials developed, project background, groups involved, purpose, emphasis, group size, environment, resources (staff and materials), evaluation, and contact person(s). A cross reference title index is provided at the end of each section for practices encompassing more than one main area. A glossary and subject index are included. (Author/RG)
