This teaching guide consists of statements of goals and objectives, teachers' notes and suggested activities, and lists of suggested materials to use in teaching two consecutive secondary-level shorthand and transcription courses. Covered first are the rationale behind each course, evaluation procedures to be used in the course, course time allotments, and course goals and objectives. Both courses include materials on the following topics: principles for shorthand systems; theory of shorthand (reading and writing shorthand); dictation (from practiced and unpracticed materials); transcription (procedures and development); notemaking techniques; and correlation of course content with support materials. A brief bibliography concludes the guide. (MN)
