Designed specifically to assist local district personnel in the planning, management, and administration of a career education program, this project is also intended to provide a comprehensive guide for implementing career education concepts on a State and national basis. (The Batesburg-Leesville Career Education Project was implemented in a school district serving approximately 3,100 students in grades K-12 with a professional staff of approximately 130 teachers, counselors, and administrators.) The report provides local school administrators with an overall picture of the various strategies used to manage a career development program and outlines the roles played by administrators such as superintendents of schools, principals, and career development coordinators. Product and process objectives are outlined for grades 1-6, grades 7-9, grades 10-12, and for special education. Project objectives are portrayed on a PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Techniques) chart. Project implementation from the teacher's point of view identifies the role of the teacher in the career education movement and reconstructs events, experiences, and preparations which preface actual classroom application of process objectives. A sample lesson plan outline is included. Discussion of administrator implementation focuses on the roles of the district superintendent of schools and local principals. Other sections discuss evaluation, inservice training, staff utilization, successful areas of emphasis, problem areas, and general recommendations. Two guidance newsletters are appended. (TA)
