Life Centered Career Education Training
To get the most out of the LCCE transition curriculum, take advantage
of CEC'S on-site or regional training opportunities. CEC also presents a
one-day workshop at CEC's Annual Convention & Expo.
Training includes six to 12 hours of instruction, taught in one- or
two-day workshops. Each LCCE workshop accommodates up to 40
participants. Each participant receives a copy of Life Centered
Career Education: A Competency-Based Approach, 5th Edition, by Donn
Brolin, plus materials.
Who Should Take Advantage of this Training Opportunity?
Educators interested in teaching students with disabilities the
skills they need to become productive workers and independent adults
should take this training. Learn strategies for using LCCE to
collaborate with parents, other educators, community service personnel,
and the business community to help students achieve success in their
everyday lives.
The LCCE curriculum is intended for use with students who have mild
disabilities and can read at the third-grade level or above. It has been
used successfully for years with students who have learning
disabilities, mild mental retardation, and emotional or behavioral
disorders. It is also useful for students with sensory impairments,
students at risk, and low-achieving students.
What You Will Learn:
- Use LCCE to teach functional skills
- Use LCCE's assessment instruments to guide your instructional
planning
- Use LCCE units to satisfy requirements of IEPs and transition
plans
- Integrate LCCE activities into your current program
- Collect ideas for accessing community resources
- Engage parents in planning
- Implement LCCE in your school or district
LCCE helps special education teachers meet the transition and testing
requirements of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
(IDEA).

you to develop the agendas and workshop hours.
