The course outlines contained in this book were developed to assist business educators with the implementation of competency-based instruction in Virginia. The outlines are for courses in accounting, business data processing, clerical accounting, and recordkeeping occupations. Each outline is composed of a course description; a listing of skill areas; a topical outline; and enabling, terminal, and personal employability competencies. Each terminal and each personal employability competency has an accompanying performance objective. The enabling competencies are provided to help teachers stress skills and knowledge that students must develop to achieve the terminal competencies. (KC)
