This document contains separate core curricula for Distributive Education and Diversified Cooperative Training programs designed to aid the teacher in using available competency-based instructional materials. Each core curriculum is composed of four parts: marketing, economics, career exploration, and employability skills. Marketing, the largest part, is further divided into 10 instructional areas. Each instructional area is comprised of units of instruction with each unit having one or more instructional topics, each topic supported by competencies. The number of behavioral objectives that the Interstate Distributive Education Curriculum Consortium has for each competency is given as well as suggested resources. All learning within each unit is presented in its most learnable sequence. Selected topics (indicated by an asterisk) are recommended for inclusion in a training plan at a training station. A bibliography is also provided. (YLB)
