| Summary: | Included in this final report of the K-14 three-year Penasco, New Mexico, career education project are presentation of the project's goals and objectives, description of general design and implementation procedures, lists of results and accomplishments, the third-party evaluation report, and conclusions and recommendations. General objectives listed are (1) to increase the self-awareness of each student and to stimulate favorable attitudes about the personal, social, and economic significance of work that will help develop skills to choose an appropriate career; (2) to make elementary students aware of the broad range of options open to them in the world of work; (3) to provide career orientation and exploratory experience for junior high school students; (4) to provide job preparation in a wide variety of occupations to students in grades 10-14, with special emphasis on work experience and cooperative educational opportunities for all students; and (5) to ensure placement of all students in either a job, postsecondary occupational training, or college. Conclusions cited in the evaluation report are that in the areas of development of favorable attitudes toward formal education, clear cut evidence of objective attainment is lacking, but that in the areas of developing appropriate decision-making skills and appropriate job skills the program was found clearly successful. Also noted is 100% participation of teachers in infusing career education into the regular curriculum following a change during the project from negative to positive teacher attitudes toward career education.
