This document is one in a set of eight staff development training manuals developed to facilitate the efforts of educators in the planning and implementation of comprehensive career guidance programs on the secondary level (7-12). This series is based on the goals and developmental objectives identified by the Georgia Comprehensive Career Guidance Project. (See CE 018 130 for the final report of this project.) The introduction of each manual outlines these goals and objectives under the following three domains: interpersonal effectiveness; work and life skills; and life career planning. The thirty-nine activities presented in this manual on the educational environment encourage maximum participant involvement and small group experiences. These activities cover various strategies which can be used to improve the school learning environment. These strategies include: assessment; tutoring; individual skills development (interaction skills and learning skills); problem-solving; educational planning; environmental appraisal; and the organization of an educational development center. (This center is defined as an area for organized functions that may be provided in a given location or in several locations by a number of people serving as a team.) (The other seven staff development guides are available under ERIC CE 018 147, CE 018 150, CE 018 152, CE 018 157-158, CE 018 161, and CE 018 163.) (BM)
