A Study of Selected Perceptions of the Career Education Tasks of Elementary School Counselors

Historical studies indicate that elementary school counselors should provide vocational/career information as do their secondary counterparts. Also teachers, students, parents, business, and community organizations need to have access to career education to acquire knowledge and skills necessary for success in today's job market. The elementary school counselor, with additional skills, can offer these services. The support and cooperation of the principal is vital to the success of a career guidance program. The principal is responsible for program development, supervision of staff, instruction, and setting the tone for an academic environment. Also, in the Chicago Public Schools, guidance coordinators provide technical assistance to the counselors within the principals' instructional framework.
