This course content guide was developed in accordance with the Standards for Accreditation of Public Schools adopted by the Arkansas State Board of Education. The guide is offered as a framework upon which a curriculum can be built. Within the subject area and at each grade level, the content guide identifies skills at three instructional levels: basic, developmental, and extensions. The basic skills are those skills that all students must master and upon which the minimum performance test items are based. Extensions are suggested for those learners who have mastered the required basic and recommended developmental skills. Extensions stress the higher order thinking, processing, and problem-solving skills. These extensions suggest ways for the teacher to broaden student learning on grade level without introducing more basic skills from subsequent grade levels. This junior high business education guide offers skills sequenced for grades 9 and 10. The guide lists skills for the following four courses: exploratory business (keyboarding, computer applications, business communications, telecommunications, business machines and reprographics, Social Security, taxes, payroll, banking, shorthand, speedwriting, filing, entrepreneurship, parliamentary procedure, self-image, and accounting); introduction to business (economics, economic role of business, computers, current opportunities, money management, banking, credit, savings and investments, insurance, government and labor); practical arts (keyboarding, computer applications, business machines and reprographics); and typewriting I (keyboarding and basic and advanced formatting skills).
