One effort was the creation of 15 career education clusters, _designed to facilitate thei_delivew of career education. These clusters are representative of occupational opportunity in the world of work. As designed, they serve and are intended to support the emerging state and local educa- tional agency career education program activities. S The Oregon State Department of Education, under a grant from the U.S. Office of Education, has worked on the development of the Communications Media Occupa- tions (CMO) cluster curriculum guideline. This Guideline has been prepared as a focus on one of the 15 USOE designed clusters. Its function is to better serve the learner by providing state and local education agencies information to support ef- fective: ID Career decision-making that includes the learner's values of the citizen, family, leisure and occupational roles in- volved in a career. Occupational preparation vocational, technical, pro- /fessional of today's learner for tomorrow's world. The content was initially identified and selected by project staff and field test site personnel as appropriate for career education instruction. The materials retained were evaluated by field test site personnel as: Contributing to the achievement of purposes and objec- tives of a particular career education phase. Efficient in terms of learner and teacher effoit and time. Not requiring resources and support beyond what might be reasonably expected from state and/or local education agencies. This Guideline has focused.on the In-DeptIkExploratron of the CMO cluster. Other phases are included to assist the user in articulating career education instruction at the local level. Field test site users report they have found the CMO cluster Guideline unique in that it permitted them to: Extend the procedures used to identify the CMO cluster occupations to all 15 USOE clusters. Interrelate eidsfing Department of Labor information, i.e.,Dictionaryk of Occupational Titles, Occupational Outlook Handbook and Employment Service tools and methodology to the CMO cluster. Relate the cluster scheme approach to the National In- stitute of Education/Appalachia Educational Laboratory developedCareerInformationSystemandCareer Decision-Making program. is the hope of those who have contributed to this effort that users will be better able to provide career education instruction to the USOE career education effort and, specifically, to the Communications Media Occupations cluster.
