The guide provides current information about the carpentry field, opening with occupational information relating to descriptive terms for carpentry and woodcraft activities taken directly from the Dictionary of Occupational Titles. Curriculum materials information incorporates a carpentry task inventory check list developed by The Ohio State University. Three carpentry task analyses are also included. An article, reprinted from the American Vocational Journal, titled "A Modular Approach to Vocational Curriculum" describes an approach recommended by the editors. Modular course materials include a course outline for carpentry, along with a course outline worksheet and training achievement record forms. Curriculum resources include: an evaluatively annotated list of curriculum guides, texts, and reports; a list of carpentry-related books, alphabetized by title; and a list with addresses of publication sources for carpentry materials.
