The report is the result of action taken by members of Peoria's business, labor, governmental, and educational communities, to install a total career education program. An individualized approach to curriculum development utilized three basic techniques: (1) the person-centered interview, (2) the organizing-center approach to planning, and (3) the career visit. Responsibilities of Career Education staff, building principals, teachers, students, advisory councils, and consultants are clearly defined. The history and setting of the project, its scope, selected project activities, a developmental program model for grades K-12, and an evaluation of the program and its future needs are dealt with in detail. A 56-page appendix includes interview worksheets, a career education fact sheet, professional bibliography, books and instructional materials purchased, and examples of public relations activities.
