The distributive occupations management system is designed to assist the teacher in the organization and management of the program. It includes measurable objectives which detail the responsibilities of the teacher and students. A broad range of learning experiences in several distributive occupations are provided. Specific units are presented which cover entry-level skill development for the common core elements essential to business and distributive occupations, grocery store occupations, and department store occupations. A cooperative work experience program provides transitional sales and training experiences leading to post high school employment or to advanced training. The objectives in the management system are arranged into nine-week frames to facilitate the collection of evaluation data at the same time as student grades are issued. (Author/NJ)
