A project was conducted to develop, field test, and disseminate a curriculum guide for vocational education teachers to use in teaching managerial skills to vocational education students on the secondary level. After a cadre of 20 Arkansas secondary vocational education teachers who were either directly involved or interested in establishing a program of vocational managerial skills instruction identified those topics they felt should be included in such a curriculum, their students interviewed 217 small business owners/managers to determine which skills they felt should be taught. The owners/managers rated a variety of skills relating to business ownership, leadership development, human relations, minicomputers/data processing, financial management, personnel management, business communications, business taxes, governmental regulations, marketing and advertising, business law, protecting assets, personal finance, and career opportunities. Based on these ratings, two instructional units were developed and field tested by 214 students and 14 teachers. Both student and teacher evaluations of the units were highly positive. An instructional manual (curriculum guide) was also produced and disseminated to all Arkansas junior executive training (JET) instructors. Appended to the report are the project surveys, survey results, and project-developed materials. (MN)
