Monographs on Career Education. LEA/Prime Sponsor Relationships: Practitioner Suggestions for Successful Solutions

摘要

During 1979, a series of 15 two-day 'miniconferences' were conducted by USOE's Office of Career Education under a contract with Kirschner Associates. Oriented around the general topic of YETP and Career Education each miniconference consisted of 7-10 participants, approximately half of whom were from CETA Prime Sponsor staffs and half from local K-12 school districts that had entered into a formal 'LEA/Prime Sponsor Agreement' as called for in the Youth Employment Training Program (YETP) portion of the CETA legislation. The original intent of this series of miniconferences was to learn as much as possible from participants regarding ways in which the LEA/Prime Sponsor Agreements were being linked with career education efforts of the local school district. A total of 514 specific issues, problems, and concerns were identified by conference participants. Of these, 48 were selected as priority topics for discussion. These 48 major topics were further refined into 15 broad topics and these, in turn, into eight of an even broader nature. Of the eight very broad topics, seven are discussed in this monograph.
