Project: Careers. A Career Education Curriculum for the Platte County R-III Schools.
The teacher-developed curriculum guide provides integrated career education concepts for use in the elementary, middle, and secondary grades. Organized according to grade level, it suggests enrichment activities based on four concepts: self-awareness, career awareness, career exploration, and decision-making. The elementary level focuses on self-awareness and career awareness with activities suggested to acquaint the child with a wide variety of career possibilities. A career game is included. The middle school portion of the guide is organized around 15 occupational clusters, examining five at each grade level (sixth, seventh, and eighth). Speakers and field trips are recommended. At the high school level, careers are examined as part of the decision-making process and are correlated to student interests and abilities in various academic subject areas. An attitude survey is included. Each of the three sections includes an annotated list of multimedia resource materials. Suggestions for creating a resource speaker index, sample interview questions, suggestions for relating field trips to the curriculum, and a debriefing form conclude the document. (MW)
