ERIC ED089003: Teacher's Manual for the Career Development Curriculum Guides, 7th and 8th Grades.

To help teachers make effective use of ten curriculum guides in career education for the seventh and eighth grade levels, the manual comments upon several topics: the career development philosophy, the basic ingredients of the D.C. program, the roles of the classroom teacher and the guidance counselor in the program, and the setting for the program's implementation. The manual also describes the characteristics and organization of the guides. Suggestions for planning ahead include a ten-page Grade 7 outline plan for implementing module 1 (a career cluster). Methods of introducing the curriculum to students and parents are discussed, and the importance of involving the community in classroom activity is stressed.
