| Summary: | A survey obtained data on the state of the art of career education programming for the handicapped in the New England states. The survey was designed to obtain data regarding respondent demography, curriculum and instruction, scope and breadth of career education, students, and opinions on future programmatic needs. Two hundred professionals known to be interested in career education for the handicapped were surveyed. Based on eighty-one responses, the several findings included the following: (1) More males than females work in the field of career education for the handicapped, (2) a significant proportion of the respondents do not use advisory committees in curriculum development activities, (3) few of the respondents are working in programs where career education is infused throughout the entire curriculum, (4) a significant number of respondents did not know the percentage of students in their programs who would be ready to enter the job market in any given year with salable skills, and (5) when asked to rank order eleven future programmatic needs, the highest priority item was the identification of special skills of the field and training teachers working with handicapped persons in career and vocational education. (This report concludes with twenty-three specific recommendations and two high priority summary recommendations.) (EM) |
