replied with the following list gathered both from my own resources and

My bad, sorry--the "catalog" address should have a .htm at the end.

Perhaps for a different audience, perhaps not.....
We (Oklahoma Dept of CareerTech) have developed and are developing
curriculum for our Skills Centers (Skills Centers are what we call the
Career-Tech Programs in the prisons). The curriculum is for those about to
be released and need to learn how to live "on the outside". If a search at
www.okcareertech.org/cimc/catalog doesn't turn up what you're looking for,
try e-mailing Dom Garrison dg...@okcareertech.org. Dom oversees all the
Skills Centers.
We also have a series of books,"Learn, Grow, Become" designed for the high
school student. Those are also available at the on-line catalog. I think
these are currently being revised.
BTW--OK CareerTech is a State of Oklahoma agency, not a business.
Best wishes

Another great resource is www.realm.net They have all sorts of goodies
there. It is actually a Canadian career magazine geared to youth. (Realm
Magazine) They also have a french version known as Sphere. I honestly wish
it existed when I was in high school. It would have given me a lot to think
about in terms of picking school and career paths. It's actually helpful
now that I'm in university and it's interesting too.
