Designed to aid school districts, administrators, and teachers in meeting the Idaho Department of Education Speech Communication requirement, this pamphlet first defines the learning-teaching environment for the speech communication course, describes who should teach it, and justifies its inclusion in the school curriculum. The main part of the pamphlet consists of a suggested outline for the course divided into four units: (1) introduction to the communication process, (2) building interpersonal communication skills, (3) small group communication, and (4) public speaking in the speech communication course. Suggested content and learning activities as well as resources for additional activities are given for each unit. The document concludes with a bibliography of general works on teaching speech communication. (JL)
