A School-to-Work Resource Guide: Focusing on Diversity.
Maddy-Bernstein, Carolyn, Comp.; And Others
This guide, which is designed for educators who are developing, implementing, or seeking background information about school-to-work transition programs, contains descriptions of 222 of the most current (1990-present) resources for/about the school-to-work transition. The entries describing each resource are organized into four sections: publications, newsletters/journals, educational information centers/agencies/organizations, and National Network for Curriculum Coordination in Vocational and Technical Education curriculum coordination centers. Within the section devoted to publications, entries are organized according to the following topics: general information about school-to-work; school-based learning component (career preparation, integration of academic and vocational education, performance standards, tech prep, student assessment); work-based learning component (apprenticeship, job training); connecting activities component (school-business collaboration, mentoring); transition issues for special populations; and gender equity issues. Each entry describing a publication contains some or all of the following: title, author, publisher, publisher address, and ordering information/price and abstract summarizing the publications intended audience and content. Entries describing organizations contain an abstract outlining the organizations mission, major activities, size, and/or services/products and a contact person.
