One of five supplements which accompany chapter 3 of "Mountain-Plains Handbook: The Design and Operation of a Residential, Family Oriented Career Education Model" (CE 014 630), this document contains specific information concerning curriculum development procedures. The following four major areas are covered: field testing, field test design and instruments, curriculum orientation package, and contractual arrangements. Related forms, charts, and examples are included with each area discussed. (A sample curriculum unit (CE 014 647) and an orientation guide for instructors (CE 014 652) are also available through ERIC. Additional Mountain-Plains curriculum materials, including twenty-two instructional units, are available for on-site inspection at the Research Library at the National Center for Research in Vocational Education at Ohio State University.)
