PART 1.0 AIMS OF EDUCATION

The basic function of the British Columbia system of public educationis to_serve society and to meet the needs of individual students.School personnel have the primary responsibility to educate everyoneby enabling each student to pursue excellence; to experience successand to realize maximum potential in every course. The curriculumshould enable each student to achieve educational and vocational goalsin the development of their interests, skills and abilities.

Central to that responsibility is the prorotion of learning, theacquisition of knowledge and the mastery of skills. This is essentialto provide the student with a solid base upon which a successful futuremay be built. This responsibility implies an obligavion to go beyondthe provision of a learning opportunity and to link instruction andlearning through activities that make it possible for the pupil tobecome a purposeful, effective and competent learner. Students shouldbe encouraged to develop a sustained interest in learning and a con-fidence in their ability to learn by the realization that any studybecomes effective through an orderly and sustained appr,:ach.

The primary responsibility of school personnel should be complementedby the many other facets of school life which contribute to thedevelopment of the maturing student. Teachers should encourage sports=manship, good health and fitness, promote a willingness to serve theschool and community, and provide opportunities to appreciate andshare in the social customs of the school and society. Students shouldbe encouraged to be active participants in the community by meetingtheir obligations and responsibilities as citizens.

The philosophy of the school is best achieved in a purposeful andchallenging environment which motivates_the best performance ofstudents and staff. The environment should be safe, supportive,rewarding and satisfying; and should reflect mutual respect andcourtesy among students; staff and parents. The facilities, equipmentMaterials and organization should enable students and staff to pursueStated:educational goals; The environment must also be conducive toeffettiVe participation by the staff in decisions affecting them andtheir students. Such participation is fostered by open, flexible andCooperative patterns of organization and communication based on a spiritOf mutuality.

Teachers, parents and_the community share the responsibility for foster-ing_the optimum_growth and development of each student; Shared respons-ibility should be_ditected to the end that each student will become aknowledgeable, self-reliant, self-disciplined; adaptive human being witha sense of enduring values and_social_and civic responsibility; able tocommunicate and participate effectively in_a technologically advancingand increasingly mobile, complex and changing society.

PART 2.0 SECONDARY SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY

Secondary_schools are primarily concerned with the development ofthe individual _in a changing society; Organization of the secondaryschool system is_based on the belief that students should be providedWith a meaningful sequence of courses directed toward a particularpurpose which they_themselves consider valuable and which lies withintheir abilities. Motivation of_adolescents to maintainia positiveattitude with commitment to their studies is a challenging task forteachers. Students need educational experiences that will help_themto cope with their_responsibilities_in society; to prepare forfUrthereducation_at a college, Provincial institute or university; and/or toenter employment With a marketable skill.

General goals of the secondary school system should be incorporatedinto the educational philosophy of each school. Secondary schoolcurriculum goals should:

a. provide opportunities for all students to achieve a maximum ofgeneral and basic preparatory education,

b. emphasize those subjects needed for individual intellectualdevelopment for future career goals,

c. enable students to arrange subjects into broad patterns orprograms on the basis of their interrelationships and useful-ness for further education and employment;

d. permit individual choice of school programs according toalternatives that are available;

include opportunities for students to develop personal interestsand avocational values,

f. increase opportunities to relate course offerings to the needsof the school population and the community, and

allow students to select for themselves educational goals andpatterns of study in accord with their proven interests andabilities.

As students acquire and develop their skills and talents at thesecondary school educational level_i interest in future careersbecomes increasingly- important. The need to improve the transitionbetween schools, colleges, Provincial institutes and employment hasbeen addreSSed through the introduction of career preparationprograms.

PART 3.0 CAREER PREPARATION PROGRAMS

3.1 Aims and Purpose

Career preparation is vitally important to every individual in their_Choice of lifestyle and their economic security,_ In_conjunction withthe provision of basic education for all citizens, the school_systemthbUld ensure that all students are provided the opportunity toincrease their awareness of career planning leading to vocational.chOiCet._ The general education acquired through the public schoolsysteniLhould coMplement_the. personal and intellectual development ofindividualt fOr success in the world of work;

Occupational needs are never static and students should have theopportunity to increase their awareness of the world of work whileattending public schoolt. The influence of modern technology hasaltered individual and family lifestyles and many students recognizethe need for preparatory training that will lead toward success in avocation of their choice. This increased emphasis on education andtraining will help students to understand the increasingly complexworld of business and industry. Pertinent questions should beconsidered. What are the qualifications for particular occupations?Which occupations require a post-secondary education or othercredentials? Which vocations require work related experiences?How should the school experience provide for student needs as theyconsider their future careers?

The last question is being partially answered through Career PreparationPrograms. Students who enroll in a career preparation program will gaina broad overview of a particular industry and will be provided withvocational experiences in a career area of their choice. Essentialcomponents of the total program include specialized courses with coopera-tive career preparation studies and the completion of all requirementsleading to a secondary school graduation certificate. Examples of somecareer areas are the hospitality/tourism industry, general mechanics andbusiness education. Graduates of a career preparation program may bequalified to pursue further studies toward a profession, attend a collegeor Provincial institute to acquire further_specialized education, orproceed directly to employment with some marketable skills. Secondaryschool teachers will need to cooperate with employers and post-secondaryinstructors to effectively integrate the career preparation programs.

Adults at the school and community level have a responsibility toensure that all students will achieve a basic understanding andawareness of the world of work to prepare for emerging trends insociety. Increased school and community cooperation through thecareer preparation program will provide appropriate educationaland career development experiences to help students acquire market=able skills for future employment. This new program for thesecondary schools is consistent with the general aims of theBritish Columbia scrioo3 system in striving to meet the needs ofall students.

The development of students who can think for themselves and learnon their own is one of the more important educational goals. In

career preparation programs, practical experiences that combinemethods, resources and activities provide an important teachingstrategy to enhance learning and thinking abilities. Both indivi-dual and group problem solving strategies help students to utilizeabstract thinking abilities through practical learning activities.

In the grade 11 and 12 school terms; students in career preparationprograms have opportunities to apply basic skills and abilitiesgained from earlier educational experiences. Learning outcomesbecome more effective when students can develop abilities andtalents with new applications and a wider variety of resources.

The career preparation programs in British Columbia senior secondaryschools are designed to provide students with options that_enablestudents to enter the work force, proceed to a college or Provincialinstitute or to pursue further academic studies leading to a professsional career. Courses related to career fields at the seniorsecondary level are intended to improve the transition of studentsbetween school and employment -and between school and post-secondaryinstitutions. Students enrolled in a career preparation programwill participate in cooperative career preparation studies to spendpart of their school time in a learning situation in the communityat a training station. This experience is designed to providepractical experience for a student in an occupational field directlyrelated to a program specialty in the school.

All students will utimately enter the work force in some capacityand career preparation programs will assist students to recognizecurrent occupational practices and the avenues for advancement towardcareer goals. From these experiences, students can be encouraged torecognize the spectrum of employment within an occupational cluster.

3.2 Core Curriculum

Many_of the core curriculum learning outcomes are integral parts ofthe learning_ outcomes that_comprise a career preparation program.Students -will be encouraged to relate their basic education experiencesto practical experiences through the application of talents, skills,abilities and competencieS to simulated roles relative to futureemployment responsibilities.

Career preparation programs provide opportunities for students toapply the following aspects of the core curriculum to their schoolexperiences: (a) reading; (b) writing; (c) speaking; (d) principlesof measurement; (e) roles, responsibilities and rights of theindividual in society; (f) research and study skills; and (g) inquiry,analysis and problem solving. Practical application of the skills andpurposes of the core curriculum to the career preparation program willhelp students to function effectively as active and responsible citizens.

3.3 Responsibility of the School Staff

Preparation for employment concerns everyone and the educationalexperiences of a student have a direct impact on each person's _ _

selection of a career path. One's choice of an occupation is closelyaligned with the desires for a particular lifestyle. Teachers in ourschools have a major responsibility to assist students in the develop-ment of attitudes toward work and the rewards that one may expect fromfuture employment. School experiences should help people to preparefor satisfying and successful employment. From this premise, there isincreasing recognition of the need for students to relate their schoolexperiences to career goals and the benefits that can be derived fromthe completion of courses for career advancement.

The school experience for students should include the acquisition ofcareer information, the development of skills and talents for specificoccupations and the opportunity to gain practical experience alongwith completion of general education requirements. The purpose ofcareer preparation is to provide students with information and gen-eralized skills which apply to a broad series of interrelated occupations.Students will then be able to make meaningful decisions concerning theadvantages and disadvantages of occupations. Along with the generaleducation requirements a student on a career preparation program willcomplete the following studies in grades 11 and 12.

Urade 11: General orientation to an occupational cluster will be providedin school by practical experience in a career field and cooperativecareer preparation studies. To understand the occupational competenciesrequired in vocations, students will have access to resource people andto information that will help them select a career. This cooperativeapproach to the involvement of community personnel is designed tobroaden the students' educational background and perspective of possiblecareer paths.

- 12--

Development of skills and talents is the primary purpose of the practicalexperiences. Courses that comprise the specialty area of study must bedirectly related to occupational requirements for future employment andto the related programs offered at colleges and Provincial institutes.

Each course is divided into units and modules with student experiencesdescribed in terms of learning outcomes. Students will have the opportun-ity to explore a wide variety of core skills in an occupational field andthe expected performance levels will be identified from the curriculumoutline.

Grade 12: Student attendance in these courses will lead to the acquisi-tion of skills and talents which may qualify them for entry levelemployment in related occupations and/or for advanced standing at apost-secondary institution. Emphasis is on career- preparation; not ontraining for specific jobs. As students build on the earlier experiencesfrom grade 11, they will be better prepared to focus on their futurecareer goals.

Classroom experiences will be supplemented by cooperative career prepara-tion studies which provide for community based learning external to theschool. Teachers in each career preparation program will arrange withemployers in the community 'or each student to acquire practical experienceand will the conduct visitations to the training station to assess thislearning experience. The external practical component of the programmust be scheduled for a minimum of 100-120 hours with a well definedtraining plan. The personal contact between teacher/employer/studentwill strengthen the program. Teachers should assume the responsibilityfor coordinating the activities both at the school and the trainingstation.

PART 4.0 GOALS OF CAREER PREPARATION PROGRAMS

4.1 Review-Process_

From a review in 1977 of the effectiveness of secondary programs toadequately prepare students for future employment, three conclusionswere made:

a. There was a need to undertake a more efficient and relevantuse of student time for the grade 11 and 12 years.

b. There was a lack of realistic orientation to the world ofwork and this was deemed to contribute to the poor employmentsituation for many students.

c. There was evidence from the Report of the Commission onVocational, Technical-and-Trades- Training in British Columbia,(1977) that more effective vocational training was needed ingrades 11 and 12 to adequately prepare some students for directentry into the work force.

Pilot programs in career preparation were undertaken in various areasof the province between 1977 and 1980 and the results of these programssupported assumptions that:

a. in addition to the present provisions for secondary schoolgraduation, the school may extend the opportunity in grades 11and 12 for a student to gain marketable skills and/or advancedstanding in post-secondary courses or programs;

b. the provision of employment skills should not reduce thepercentage of graduating students when compared to the schoolpopulation generally;

c. the provision of marketable skills should have a positiveeffect upon the graduates' employment opportunities whencompared to the total graduate population;

d. the monitoring of the pilot projects would provide informationon the effects of the projects on the number of studentschoosing to further their full time studies;

e. the pilot projects would have a positive effect upon the totalintegration process between secondary and post-secondaryeducation (including the Apprenticeship Branch of the Ministryof Labour);

f. the funding arrangements for the pilot project would providethe information necessary to establish a rational system offunding if the projects are extended to the whole province;monitoring of the pilot projects would provide information onthe effects of the project on:

i. the basic comprehensive graduation programs offeredin the schools;

11. the standards and expectations of post-secondarycourses and programs with respect to secondary schools,and

iii. the possible areas of conflirt regarding the responsi-bilities of the secondary school and teachers and thepost-secondary institutions and instructors.

4.2 Recommendations

In 19E0; the Ministry of Education agreed to the recommendations ofa steering committee that the career preparation program receiveformal endorsation. Four goals for the program were established.The Ministry ofEducation should:

a foster career training in the schools without sacrificing thegeneral education function of the school,

b. increase the articulation of programs between secondary schoolsand post-secondary institutions Arough joint development ofrelevant curriculum units in career and vocational areas,

c. define the career preparation program and monitor careertraining in order to assure the status; quality and provincialcredibility of such training; and

d. develop, through joint consultation, the administrative frame-work which will guide the general and specific conditions forcourse recognition by post-secondary institutions.

The primary goal for the career preparation program is to providestudents at secondary schools with the opportunity to gain.increasedawareness_of career and employment needs without sacrificing thegeneral educational- function of the schools; Courses are designed tointegrate with the business and industrial community and with post-tetondary colleges and Provincial institutes.

4.3 Student Outcomes

Goals fOn student outcomes in career preparation programs' are:a. to develop competencies and marketable skills for some

individuals to prepare for an entry level job,b. to acquire prerequisite qualifications for some individuals

who may pursue further training and/or advanced_placement inan integrated program at a post-secondary school;

c. to attain skills necessary to locate, read and comprehendmaterial or literature related to their particular field ofcareer interest;

d. to attain a basic level of skills and talents needed foremployment in a particular vocation (occupation);

e. to achieve the competencies necessary for critical thinkingand problem solving in a specialized area of study;

f. to develop self-discipline for constructive work and studyhabits;

g. to develop feelings of pride and self-confidence in achievementand progress;

h. to acquire a sense of respect and concern toward personalproperty as well as the property of others;

i. to increase personal and social competencies and acquire asense of social responsibility; and

j. to increase cooperative work skills to attain group goals.

PART 5.0 ORGANIZATION

A career preparation program has been defined as a selection andarrangement of courses in general education subjects and in majorvocational fields to form a systematic pattern leading to secondaryschool graduation with qualifications for direct entry to employmentand/or advanced admission to a post-secondary school program.

5.1 Goals- and Outcomes

General goals are provided for each program, each course, and foreach module within the course. These goals are intended to providegeneral direction to the teachers, students and employers to indicatethe broad parameters at each level.

Learning outcomes are specified for each module in terms that willindicate_the performance levels that students are expected to achievefor completion of each unit and course. Criterion referenced testsmay be developed by teachers to ensure that projected competenciesfor students are similar in various regions cf the province.

5.2 Program Requirements

Requirements to complete a career preparation program consist offour constant courses, six provincially approved specialty coursesand at least two additional elective courses for a minimum of twelvecourses to meet the requirements for secondary school graduation.Within the six specialty courses of approximately 120 hours each(minimum of 700 hours), students will complete units in cooperativecareer preparation studies in grades 11 and 12.

Courses in the sample outline that follows for a student program ingrades 11 and 12 should be regarded as the basic requirements forgraduation with a career preparation specialty. There will be situationswhere it will be necessary, and to the student's advantage-, to apply theelective courses to subjects as mathematics, physics or general businessto acquire adequate preparation for a vocational choice or for require-ments of a postsecondary institution. Students planning on a careerin trades related to general mechanics will benefit from a mathematicscourse while another student may require a business education course fora career in the hospitality industry. The student program should beorganized to provide the most useful background for entry into a chosencareer field.

5.3 Guidelines

The fundamental purpose in the foregoing organization is to ensurethat students complete the general ed6cation constants and acquiresome specialized experiences that will prepare them for employmentor continuing education. When students enter a career preparationprogram in grade 11, they will concentrate on the acquisition ofcore skills related to an occupational field or industry. Developmentof personal and interpersonal skills and an orientation to the organiza-tion of business and labour will be an integral part of the learningprocess.

In grade 12, the students will move from the core skills acquired ingrade 11 to more specific skills related to an occupational/vocationalchoice. During this school year, students will gain practical experiencein community based learning activities at a job site for a minimum periodof 100 - 120 hours. Teachers of the specialty courses will arrange forthe external practical experience with various business firms and visiteach student at the training station as part of the cooperative careerpreparation studies. Teachers should prepare information that willassist the employer in assessing the performance of the student at atraining station.

Practical experience is an integral part of the educational program forstudents enrolled in career preparation. School credit is granted forthe cooperative career preparation component at a job site but thestudent should not be paid wages while working under the supervisionof school personnel. The student must not displace a regular employeeand should recognize that there is no assurance of a job at the conclu-sion of the training period.

In addition to Workers' Compensation Board coverage for school arrangedcooperative career preparation with an employer, a student or theirparents may choose to purchase personal accident insurance. Any studentunder the ageof majority requires parent or guardian.approval inwriting before participating in a learning situation external to theschool. Further details and approval forms are available from theMinistry of Education (Career Programs).

C_ AAdvisory Committees

Advisory committees can perform a valuable role in the development ofcareer preparation programs. The advice and guidance provided toteachers by representatives of employers, employees and the communityis extremely_important. The function of the advisory committee isnot to establish policy or to make financial decisions but thisvoluntary group can provide a vital communication link between theschool. and the community. Recommendations for action will representthe best advice available to plan viable programs for the benefit ofthe student.

advisory;. _

Functions of advisory committees as they relate to career preparationprograms_are:

a. to assist in determining and evalulating the needs which theprogram is_designed to meet;

b, to assist in defining relevant program objectives;c, to assist in promoting public awareness of the instructional

program by colleges, unions, professional associations; employers

and appropriate community groups and_government;to aSSiSt_in_securing community support of the instructionalprogram, including formal recognition by industry and regulatorybodies, as well as_government approval;

e. to assist in the placement of graduates; andf. to assist in obtaining and coordinating student field experience

in the community.

Advisory committees should have representation; where appropriate,from the secondary school, school district; local industry, unions or

related associations, and post-secondary institutions in the_region.

A suggested composition for the advisory committee would include:

Superintendent of Schools or representative; school principal orrepresentative; teacher(s); college or Provincial institute representative;

employer representative(s); employee representative; district careercoordinator (work experience coordinator); labour representative; school

trustee.

5.5 Cooperative- Education

Education_is currently viewed as the way to prepare people for their

lifework and the need for experiential learning is evident. One of the

proven methods for the student to develop responsibility and dependabilitywithin the educational process is to arrange for organized learning

experiences with an employer. _Opportunitiet Can_be provided for -the student

to_gain practical experience with an employer__ under the concept of

cooperative education. The primary purpoSe_of cooperative education_isto provide the student with planned and evaluated practice/c_periences

which will enhance the integration of theory learned-in the classroom

with pragmatic requirements of the work situation. Acceptance of this

premise implies that there are definite procedures that must be followed

for implementing cooperative education pratticet.

Primary responsibility rests with the teacher to:a. design an overall plan for the student to participate in

cooperative education;b. involve the advisory committee to validate proposed plans

before implementation;c. consult with teachers, counsellors and CHOICES specialists

concerning career goals for studentS;

d. establish and maintain training stations;

Page 32: DOCUMENT RESUME - ERIC · REPORT NO PUB DATE NOTE PUB TYPE. EDRS PRICE. DESCRIPTORS. DOCUMENT RESUME. CE 037 079. Career Preparation Program Curriculum Guide for: General Mechanics

- 21

e. outline parameters of student experiences to be provided byemployers;

f. develop a training plan of proposed experiences and how theseactivities relate to school based courses;

g. provide guidelines that may be used by the employers;h. outline the legal requirements that apply to students for

compliance with guidelines from Ministry of Education, Ministryof Labour and the Workers' Compensation Board;

i. contact the local office of the appropriate labour organization(where applicable);

j. conduct visits with each student at the training stations; andk. determine and implement the evaluation procedures that will be

used for each student in the course.

In conducting the cooperative education component of a career preparationprogram, the teacher coordinator is of vital importance to the operationof a successful plan. Detailed planning and evaluation procedures willenable all the affected parties to contribute to the learning experiencesof each student. All activities between the school and _a business mustbe coordinated in a manner that allows maximum opportunity for eachstudent to practice what they learn. When evaluation techniques arewell designed; the teacher and the advisory committee will be able toanalyze .;he results and consider changes for improving this aspect ofexperiential learning.

Educational planning for cooperative career preparation experiencesare incorporated as an integral part of this curriculum guide. Theprovision of the cooperative career preparation studies cannot beimplemented as a separate component in isolation to approved courses.When people from the education system develop a cooperative approachwith the business community to the learning needs of students, thetransition from school to work will be more effective for all studentswho participate in cooperative career preparation.

Teachers of career preparation programs will need to coordinate theirplanning with a district staff person assigned to coordinate activitiesbetween the schools and employers. In large school districts there willbe greater need to develop procedures between schools to organize theefforts of teachers who provide general work experience for studentsin any subjects and for students in the cooperative career preparationstudies. The district coordinator will be responsible for maintainingconsistency in policy and ensuring that all legal requirements arecomplied with according to school board policies.

PART 6.0 EVALUATION

6.1 Evaluation Process

One of the important components of the Career Preparation Program thatis critical to the successful acceptance by the community and post-secondary institutions_ is the matter of evaluation. Criteria within acurriculum guide for student performance must be established to indicatestudent progress. Evaluation must be consistent to provide the necessarydocumentation of the student achievement. Each program is organized inunits and modules to indicate expected performance in terms of intendedlearning outcomes. On the basis of the statements concerning studentperformance, various testing methods may be employed to validate theachievement for the benefit of the students, parents, post-secondaryteachers and potential employers.

Included in the evaluation process will be tests to consider progress inthe affective, cognitive, psychomotor and perceptive domains. Terminal

performance should consider theoretical knowledge, practical skillsand the personal and interpersonal attributes that contribute to success-ful employment. Students are expected to affirm their understanding ofthe learning outcomes for each module through valid expression of theirskills and talents. Indications of their cooperation with others andattitudes to work and future learning needs are an important considerationof the evaluation process for career preparation.

Students can be encouraged to judge their own progress in relation -tothe established objectives for the modules comprising a cour e Outline.Rigid time limits for each module are not prescribed since there it__recognition of the variable abilities of individUalt to acquire tkilltand talents necessary for acceptable performance.

Learning outcomes and criteria have been stated_according to the_perceived needs of the students, employers and_instructort of_relatedcourses and programs in colleges and Provincial institutes. Evaluationtechniques and methods must be flexible but the resUlts_thOUld_indicatethe standard of performance that has been achieVed. C011aboratiOnbetween teachers at secondary schools and instructors at postteCondaryinstitutions is essential to ensure that the goals of the program arebeing net to effectively integrate_ courses which compriSe each careerpreparation program; Regular_meetings_of advisory committees will helpfacilitate reviews of the goals and objectives and ensure that theinterests of the concerned individuals are being considered.

-23 ==

Evaluation processes should be designed to assist students to acquirethe_necessary skills and talents that will be useful for a vocationalgoal. Performance criteria can be reviewed at appropriate intervalsto ensure that standards are realistic and that employers and post-secondary instructors are satisfied with the graduates of the programs.Students should acquire a broad view of an employment field beforethey select an occupation that will require concentrated study andpreparation. Qualifications for one job are often related to otherjobs and the evaluation process must be designed to enhance studentgrowth for employability in related occupations. Procedures fortesting in any career area should help and not hinder student_growthin the realization of personal goals that will lead to gainful_employ-ment. Evaluation should clarify the capabilities of individuals andprovide essential information to students, parents and employers.

6.2 Determination_of_Performance-Criteria

Part of the learning process concerns the evaluation process andvarious methods may be used by teachers to determine the progressof students. Teacher strategies will be employed in the affective,cognitive, psychomotor and perceptive domains. Performance levelsin the cognitive domain will usually be assessed by formal writtenexams. In addition, there will be procedures to determine perfor-mance in the practical demonstration of abilities and other teststhat will require the professional expertise of the teacher to assessperformance levels. There are at least six evaluation proceduresthat teachers may apply to assess student progress toward the learn-ing outcomes in this curriculum guide.

A bank of evaluation resource materials, including curriculumreferenced tests and procedures for evaluating manipulative skills,will be developed and made available on a provincial basis to assistthe classroom te,:cher and to serve as externa. benchmarks. At thesame time, within the six categories below, it is expected thatteachers will develop and share other materials that may be appliedto the instructional process.

- Comprehensive written examination (on the cognitive level forall aspects of subject matter)

- Practical demonstration (on manipulative skills)Oral examination (on verbal descriptions of processes)

- Team or group examination (on activities that involve twoor more students)

- Observation

- Questionnaire/opinionnaire instrument (on reactions fromcooperative education experiences)

CURRICULUM FORMAT

The following sections of this curriculum guide consist of:

- Aims and purposes for students enrolled in ;I Career Preparation

Program for General Mechanics,

- Course/unit general aims which indicate the general knowledge/skill required to achieve a satisfactory level of performance,

- Goal statements and learning outcomes for each module withstudent outcomes for the expected levels of achievement,

-_ Student activities designed to support the learning outcomesof each module, and

Bibliography and resources that may be used to assist the studentachieve the learning outcomes.

The learning outcomes specify the minimum levels that are essentialfor the satisfactory completion of each module. This information iscompiled under particular topics but the sequence of teaching anyaspect of the program is the responsibility of the teacher. Professionalexpertise should be applied to plan instruction and to expand and enhanceStudent performance without undue reliance on tests to measure cognitive

knowledge. In the process of evaluation the teacher should consider allaspects which contribute to the effective mastery of skills for each

occupation. Evaluation should include assessment of skills, knowledge,talents, personal and interpersonal behaviour related to a vocation.The development of attitudes toward the work ethic should be consideredin the provision of experiences leading to successful employment.

Essential components to support the learning experiences outlines incourses will be cooperative career preparation studies. Teachers shoulddevelop procedures with business personnel in the community to ensurethat cooperative activities at school and in the community are provided

for all aspects of the career preparation program. Organized learningexperiences away from the school building should be related to particular

goals and learning outcomes stated in the following sections of this

curriculum guide.
