This scope and sequence guide, developed as an introduction to a vocational office education program, represents an initial step in the development of a systemwide articulated curriculum sequence for all vocational programs within the Metropolitan Nashville Public School System. It was developed as a result of needs expressed by teachers, parents, and the business community for sequential structure within the vocational education curriculum. The guide contains an introduction, course description, general course objectives, course content (with specific objectives) in outline format, and a list of resource materials, such as textbooks, curriculum guides, audiovisual aids, kits, projects, simulations, and workbooks. This one-period block program is especially designed to introduce students to office education curriculum experiences. It includes the development of basic typewriting skills, along with an introduction to accounting, shorthand, general clerical, data processing, and office machines. Upon completion of the course, students should be aware of the further course offerings available and be able to select courses appropriate to their needs and abilities. (KC)
