This competency-based preservice home economics teacher education module on developing occupational programs is the second in a set of four core modules on establishing occupational programs. (This set is part of a larger series of sixty-seven modules on the Management Approach to Teaching Consumer and Homemaking Education [MATCHE]--see CE 019 901-967.) Following the module objective and overview, four units of instruction are presented: (1) administrative approval and funding (includes lessons on identifying program requirements and standards and identifying community and school resources); (2) advisory committees (includes lessons on purpose of an advisory committee, procedures for establishing committees, and organizing and operating a committee); (3) planning and scheduling an occupational program (includes a lesson on types of programs); and (4) program preparations (includes lessons on facilities and equipment, budgeting for the program, and keeping meaningful records and developing a filing system). Each lesson includes a narrative summary, suggested activities, and suggested resources (readings). Each unit also includes a progress test. A module pre/posttest (with answer key) concludes the document. (Workshop proceedings relating to the development of these modules are available in the ERIC system as CE 019 896-899; also available is a module on utilizing FHA-HERO as an instructional strategy to expand and strengthen the home economics instructional programs [CE 019 900].)
