The Tennessee Exemplary Project in Career Education. Interim Report. Exemplary Project in Vocational Education Conducted under Part D of Public Law 90-576.
Greenville County School District, Greenville, SC.
The report documents the activities of the second year of a K-14 career education project in Greenville (Tennessee) city and county schools. The primary goal was to build upon the activities of the first year through the use of workshops and inservice programs to assist in the development of specific activities for the students. Project activities included preparing and placing experience carts (which contain career education tools and equipment) in elementary schools, compiling and distributing a community resource guide, and establishing and continuing a community learning center program for high school juniors and seniors which provides observation experiences in the community to aid in career decision-making. Also, the project contributed to greater interest in career education at the state level. Included in the document is a 67-page third-party evaluation report (by a team from the Bureau of Educational Research and Services, University of Tennessee). Nine different tests were administered as part of the evaluation design, and test findings comprise the major portion of the evaluation report. Success of the project was attributed to positive attitudes of teachers and school personnel and community support. Appendixes (70 pages) include test results, materials on the community learning center program, and results of a teacher survey. (RG)
