Abstract | Plans are being developed for a complete refocusing of educational curricula for the goal of career education. Goals for career education at present include: extended educational opportunities from cradle to grave: preparation for successful working careers; each course giving emphasis to its contribution to a successful career; hands-on occupational experience; career preparation through exposure to alternative career choices, and acquisition of actual job skills and attitudes; and learning from the total environment. Career awareness, career exploration, and career preparation are the steps of career education, with occupations classified into 15 clusters. Four models of career education have been developed: school-based, employer-based, home-community based, and rural-residential. Career education has become the number one priority of the Office of Education, yet costs will also fall to State and local governments and school districts. The U. S. Office of Education sees a need for career education since "a fundamental purpose of education is to prepare the young to live a productive and rewarding life. Far too many young Americans in our schools are failing in this essential mission." (SC) |
