Abstract

From here to there. The Professional Development Project of the Equity Institute has developed a career-education program that focuses on the skilled craftsworker. The purpose of the program is twofold: to introduce girls as well as boys in grades 1-9 to the roles of skilled craftsworkers in the service, manufacturing, and carpentry industries and to show what mathematics and language arts skills are needed for these careers. Appropriate mathematics problems and activities are included at each grade level. Two filmstrips and guides for teachers, parents, and counselors will be available. Funding has been provided by the U.S. Office of Education. For more information contact Mary Ellen Verheyden, Equity Institute, 4401 East-West Highway, Suite 507, Bethesda, MD 20814.
