Garfield strives to illustrate the inextricable components of economic funding and educational opportunity as they exist in contemporary society.

Career Assessment in Education
[ send me this paper ]
This 8 page report discusses issues associated with
career assessment in the educational system. For decades, American high school students
faced a variety of career “assessments” which would supposedly indicate what
professions they were uniquely suited for and where they were most likely to find career
satisfaction. The problem with such tests were that they were far too generalized and
offered little real guidance. For the past thirty years, the question of what is meaningful
and useful assessment has continually been asked. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
