Businesses, community agencies, career educators and |
|
counselors, churches, parents, and other community |
|
members are increasingly being approached to become |
|
actively involved in K-12 career education through school- |
|
to-work, tech prep, or other related programs. Community |
|
involvement in career education can assume many forms. |
|
Businesses can collaborate with schools through tech prep |
|
programs or youth apprenticeships. Community agencies |
|
such as the Chamber of Commerce can provide students with |
|
links to community leaders and community-based |
|
experiences through adopt-a-school programs and service |
|
learning projects. School counselors, parents, and other |
|
community members can help elementary school-aged |
|
children gain career awareness, clarify their values, and |
|
adopt positive work habits and behaviors. Parents can |
|
also become involved in their children's career choice |
|
process through mentoring, work shadowing, career |
|
planning activities, and documentation of experiences in |
|
career passports. The following suggestions have been |
|
offered for involving the community in K-12 career |
|
education: involve the right players; ensure commitment; |
|
develop a shared vision; produce a formal plan; emphasize |
|
performance; focus on common ground; and maintain the |
|
partnership. (Contains 10 references.) (MN) |
