This minimodule is the first of a series of three separate, but unified by process, minimodules, all of which are part of a larger set of twelve individualized performance-based modules, each based on a major competency needed by vocational administrators for effectively administering vocational education in local education agencies. The module focuses on identifying and in some cases completing the major components and procedures of curriculum development which vocational administrators need while attempting to plan curriculum development. The activities are primarily based on having the learner read a list of suggested materials related to the subject. An introductory section, terminal objective, summary of content, procedures, suggested resources, pretest, posttest, learning activities which are presented in a series of tasks, and activity sheets are included.
