Description
Summary:Designed to assist teachers and administrators in planning and implementing the Applied Program of Public Service (APPS) in existing secondary and vocational curricula, this manual is the guide for three academic quarters of study (orientation, common core, and work experience). The course covers eight major community service occupational groups: educational services, social and economic services, government agency management, transportation management, regulatory services and records, public safety and corrections and judicial services, urban and rural community development, and resources management. The guide is designed for use with (1) nine student manuals with accompanying teacher's manuals (CE 013 655-672) for each of the eight occupational groups introduced in the orientation quarter and (2) a student and a teacher's manual (CE 013 654 and CE 013 805) for the second quarter common core course. Section 1 of the guide presents instructional objectives and an activities performance schedule for each of the three quarters. Section 2 outlines the system of operational procedures for the program including suggested chronology, methods of labor market assessment, organization of the program, and various administrative record forms. Section 3 covers the guidance function, including testing, for each phase of the curriculum. Section 4 describes the community component (overview, organization, and manpower needs), and Section 5 is the APPS Index of Occupational Titles and corresponding entry level public service job descriptions. Appendixes include suggested library and audio visual resources and sources of further public service vocational information. (JT)
