The document is a distributive education (DE) course of study whose major goal is to help students gain the knowledge and skills that will facilitate their work and advancement in management. The nine topics comprising the course are: orientation, importance of distribution, careers, personal development, human relations, job skills, employment, financial management, and business math. The 25 units of instruction are designed to account for approximately 15 weeks of individualized instruction time; the other six weeks are left to the discretion of the DE teacher-coordinator. Each instructional unit includes behavioral objectives, suggested activities for DE teacher-coordinator and students, information sheets, assignment sheets, transparency masters, tests, and answer keys. Units are planned for more than one lesson or class period. The suggested activities are outlined in steps to follow to achieve specific objectives. The teacher activities are largely related to the provision of instructional materials and resources. Information sheets provide a guide for presenting background knowledge. (Author/AJ)
