Designed to assist in implementing career education in Idaho, this guide's aim is to develop an educational program that equips all learners with competencies for successfully entering the world of work. Section 1 defines goals and objectives for integrating career education into comprehensive elementary and secondary school programs. Section 2 offers visual models and explanatory narratives for a comprehensive career education program. Section 3 offers a detailed implementation plan consisting of four categories: (1) a network of cluster support centers, (2) a State plan of leadership and services to assist local school districts in implementing career education, (3) local school district plans for designing and implementing career education, and (4) involvement of colleges of education in implementing career education. Section 4 has two basic components. Part 1 deals with a set of proposed basic standards for completion of high school.
