Career Education Resource Units: Grades 4.

The units contained in this guide are intended primarily as resource materials to assist grade 4 teachers in identifying units into which career awareness concepts can be infused and also in identifying instructional activities that correlate basic skills and career education objectives. Introductory information includes a definition of career education and an outline of goals for elementary career awareness. Fourteen units relate to social studies and cover map skills, regions of the United States (plains, mountain, coastal, and desert), careers in Delaware, the clothing industry, hospitality and recreational services, and communication and transportation. Six science-related units cover nutrition (two units), natural resources, environment, sound, and marine occupations. Each unit contains the following: An overview, content outline, unit objectives, and unit description, which provides criterion referenced objectives, learning activities, and a list of materials. Materials listed are teacher references, children's books, study prints, kits, films, filmstrips, records and songs, and classroom materials and equipment used in the activities. Additional evaluation suggestions are included for some units. A list of unit authors and their schools concludes the guide. (TA)
