In July
1996, the New York State Education Department Board of Regents approved the three Career
Development and Occupational Studies (CDOS) Learning Standards as part of the 28 learning
standards for New York State students. One of the performance indicators for the CDOS Learning Standard 1, career development, provides that students will begin a career plan process at the elementary level and continue its development throughout their education experience. To assist educators in the delivery of this performance indicator, a decision was made by the Office of Curriculum and Instructional Support (OCIS) to develop and implement a Career Plan Initiative to consist of two phases-a pilot and a training phase. |

| The Career Development and Occupational Studies
(CDOS) Learning Standards pamphlet presents an overview of the
CDOS standards and demonstrates the potential of the standards to build
the capacity of education programs to support closing the performance gap
and further student academic achievement.
The Career Plan Initiative pamphlet provides an overview of the initiative and demonstrates how the career plan process supports state and federal education reform activities and facilitates student personal development and academic achievement. An order form is provided for the purchase of both pamphlets from the New York State Education Department, Publications Unit. The Career Plan Initiative Questions and Answers summary addresses the questions received during statewide Career Plan presentations and training workshops and serves as a resource for career plan implementation sites.
