By demanding education reform now, we can gain the understanding we need fo help every student reach new levels of achievement;only by challenging conventional wiodpm can we as a nation gain the wisdomwe need to eOcateour young in the decade of the seventies. Career Educ tion is one answer to the President's call for reform. U.E. Commilsioner of Education;S..P: Marland, Jr., has described this revolutionary-concept as "a new order of education concerned with the / usefulness and self realization ofevery individual." This is career awareness teachers' guide designed for classroom use. Its pur ose is to assemble innconvenient form some learning activities that wi? 1 give the elementar! tudent a greater understanding and awareness of self and the occupational. world that:surio...ids him. It is hOpedthat this prograM will help to prepare Owatonna students to meet the challenges of technological changes and complexities cif the future. The guide is organized into nine sectionsone for each month of the school year. In each monthly sectionthere are five or.more of the activ- ities. The classroom teacher may chooselene or more of the aativie.es, each week. The flexibility of the program, however, allows each teacher the opportunity to use the suggested activities from any month at any time. I Activities.in this guide have been correlated with our curriculum, as closely_-:- as possible. Each activity is complete in itself and-is not necessarily tied to or dependent upon our regular curriculum. It'is recommended that you use one class period a week, from 30 to 60 Ardnutes, to devotb to career awareness. If the activity you have chosen for a particular week is correlated with language, then it is likely that you would use one language period for career awareness' that week. The writing committee feels that this guide represents a skeletal career awareness program. By providing you with some concrete Activities, it is hoped that you will acquire the "spirit for career education", and learn to incorporate these career concepts into the present curriculum on a daily basi.S.
