Description
Summary:The System of Planned Activities in Career Education (SPACE) project was undertaken (1) to create a meaningful, cooperative effort between the area vocational technical school and the sending schools for the purpose of expanding career education to meet the needs of all children and (2) to establish a system to serve as a model for implementing career education into the existing curricula. SPACE is designed to assist each local educational agency (LEA) in developing a comprehensive instructional system to facilitate career development for all students without the massive infusion of new funds. In serving as a model for school districts, the SPACE program provides guidelines in adopting five models: (1) Conceptual Model (continuous program appraisal and adjustment), (2) Comprehensive K-12 Model (school-based model sequenced in three phases), (3) Educational Model (conceptual framework for developing sets of learning experiences), (4) Curriculum Implementation Model (simplified systems for program delivery), and (5) Model for Career Development Learning Units (triad approach). (This report includes figure representations of the five models as well as a model of child development; evaluation questions; plans of project activities for five years and one year; position descriptions for a district director of career education, a district management team, and a career education specialist; and a glossary of terms.)
