THESE GUIDELINES WERE DEVELOPED THROUGH THE ACTIVITIES OF THE OFFICE OCCUPATIONS TEACHER EDUCATION CLINICS HELD IN 1966. THE PURPOSE OF THESE GUIDELINES WAS TO ESTABLISH RECOMMENDED MINIMUM WORK EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS, GENERAL AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION COURSES, AND LEVELS OF SUBJECT MATTER COMPETENCIES. THEY ALSO DESCRIBE THE QUALITIES AND COMPETENCIES WHICH TEACHERS SHOULD POSSESS AS WELL AS THE PROCESSES FOR ACHIEVING THESE GOALS. PRELIMINARY SUGGESTIONS FOR 20 GUIDELINES WERE REVIEWED AT A PLANNING CLINIC HELD FOR 52 PARTICIPANTS SELECTED FROM CITY AND STATE SUPERVISORS OF OFFICE EDUCATION, TEACHER EDUCATORS, AND CONSULTANTS. THE SUGGESTED GUIDELINES THAT WERE PRESENTED BY THE CONSULTANTS WERE DISTRIBUTED TO APPROXIMATELY 1,200 CITY AND STATE SUPERVISORS AND BUSINESS TEACHER EDUCATORS WHO WERE REQUESTED TO OFFER THEIR SUGGESTIONS. THE GUIDELINES WERE REVISED AT NINE REGIONAL CLINICS TO INCORPORATE SUGGESTIONS MADE BY BUSINESS EDUCATORS, WERE FURTHER REVISED AT A NATIONAL CLINIC, AND WERE EDITED INTO A SET OF 19 GUIDELINES. THESE GUIDELINES ARE PRESENTED IN THIS REPORT IN FORM TO BE USED FOR OVERHEAD PROJECTION. (AL)
