One of a series of 12 booklets in the secretarial/clerical area for the vocational instructor, the secretary/shorthand task list competency record contains a job description, a task list of areas of competency, an occupational tasks competency record (suggested as replacement for the traditional report card), a list of industry representatives and educators involved in developing the project, and statements of competencies and a separate competency record for the area of human relations and personal development. Job duties listed for the secretary include a wide variety of office tasks and general clerical tasks with emphasis on transcription of shorthand and machine transcription. Other general responsibilities noted are in the areas of reception, office coordination, recordkeeping, written communication, telephone and mail handling, and reprographics. Areas of competency in human relations and personal development are given as are communication, self-development, personal appearance, office attitude, social and business etiquette, and job-seeking skills. Statements of competencies may be graded at either the secondary or postsecondary level, and the competency records are intended to follow the student through vocational training at both levels. (MF)
