The Inside Story [Learning Packages for Exploratory Career Education--7th and 8th Grades: Teacher and Student Editions.]

The four learning packages for exploratory career education are designed for use at the seventh and eighth grade levels. Each unit includes coordinated teacher and student editions. The units are: Culinary Cubs, focusing on occupations in the areas of food management, production, and services, with special reference to dietitians; Mini Nursery, focusing on child care related occupations, with special reference to the tasks and responsibilities of a baby-sitter; Polka Dots, focusing on home and institutional management and supportive services, with special reference to nursing; and Gift Boutique, focusing on clothing and interior decorating occupations, with special references to use of the sewing machine. Step-by-step instructional procedures, pre- and posttests, scripts for tapes, and instruction sheets follow the statement of purpose and objectives and general instructions in each teacher edition. The student editions contain pretests, personal inventories, and lesson plans. Additional resources are suggested. (SA)
