Supporting performance objective 2 of the V-TECS (Vocational-Technical Education Consortium of States) Secretarial Catalog, both a set of student materials and an instructor's manual on determining requirements for and utilization of equipment and supplies are included in this packet. (The packet is the first in a set of three on organizing and planning--CE 016 987-989.) The student materials include two cases (each structuring a situation requiring the development and identification of an equipment list) providing reference material for the learning activity and the instructor's final checklist. The instructor's manual includes notes to the teacher and a sample purchase requisition form. The materials are designed for self-paced individual instruction and may be adapted for use with large groups. (A separate booklet--CE 016 911--lists contents for the three packets in this set along with those in several other sets--seventy-eight packets in all--based on the same V-TECS catalog.) (JT)
