Sixteen home economics teachers participated in the workshop, which was designed to prepare teachers to begin an introductory health service program or to broaden the concepts of home economics occupational programs as related to the health occupations field. The workshop was planned by the Supervisor of Personal Services of Detroit Public Schools and members of the Wayne State College of Nursing staff over a 1-year period. Workshop activities included content area lectures, laboratory practice, curriculum interpretation, hospital visits, and video-tape presentations of nursing skills. At the conclusion of the workshop, 13 students felt secure enough to undertake the planning and development of a course and three felt secure enough in preliminary tasks but believed they needed field work before beginning to teach. The greater part of the document is appendixes, including high school level curriculum materials designed by specialists in the Wayne State University, College of Nursing and Education and coordinated in the publication by the workshop director. Also included are suggested floor plans, a community survey instrument, and the workshop questionnaire. (JK)
