Stressing articulation from "cradle to grave" for learners in organized educational programs, this book takes cognizance of the breadth of offerings in modern educational systems, the trend toward articulated career education curricula along the educational ladder and from agency to agency, and the fact that not all curricula can be developed according to a single set of assumptions and procedures. The book has four sections which parallel the development process. Section one, Transition to Articulated Programs, sets the stage for modern curriculum building, discussing the need for changes, articulated programs, and the developmental process. Section two, Structuring Experiences, describes in detail four organizational schemes: (1) occupational cluster curricula, (2) technical categories, (3) business system analyses, and (4) the integrated curriculum. Section three, Developing Learning Experiences, deals with the second and third level of detail, i.e., what learners will do and how professionals will facilitate learning. Section four treats three critical aspects of contemporary professional work: assessing, staffing, and managing career programs. Directed to teachers, managers, facilitators, administrators, and others in change agent roles, the book looks at curriculum development as a dynamic process, defining the what, why, and how of relating people and programs.
