North Dakota Occupational Models have been developed from the practices of actual offices and businesses in the State, duplicating real jobs and work materials and complete with pressure and decision-making activities, to provide realistic work experiences for secondary students who have completed the basic skills courses in office education. A variety of suggestions for orientation, career exploration, and implementation of the occupational model plan are presented in the teacher's handbook. Using instruction packets (kits comprising materials collected from actual businesses) the teacher, in the role of office supervisor, conducts simulations which can substitute for or enrich the cooperative office experience. Thus, teachers wishing to implement a program of occupational models must develop packets relevant to businesses in their own areas. Using the occupational model, office education classes may be organized under the individualized instruction plan, the rotation plan, the battery plan, the supplementary plan (with cooperative work experience), and the full-scale simulated office plan. Tips for various types of organization are offered, and directions are provided for setting up a full-scale simulation. A report of the models' development and brief descriptions of the 24 models are available as CE 004 108. (AJ)
