The curriculum guide was designed for Vocational Special Needs Programs in Idaho and concentrates on preparing handicapped and disadvantaged students to succeed in regular vocational programs. The subjects, pre-vocational in nature, include: Living Skills (self concept, life management, community resources, food and nutrition, clothing and grooming, clothing care, consumer education, home safety and health, pre-first aid), Construction and Remodeling (exterior home maintenance, masonry, woodworking and carpentry), Mechanics and Motors, (small engine, bicycle maintenance, automotive upkeep, pre-driver training, gas and arc welding), Home Repairs (interior maintenance, painting and wallpapering, electricity, plumbing, furniture repair and refinishing, upholstery), Horticulture (gardening, groundskeeping and landscaping), Introduction to World of Work (getting and keeping a job, writing employment letters, filling out forms, money management), Occupational Training (child care, laundry/dry cleaning, food service, custodial/housekeeping). Each of the subjects is divided into units and lessons, with each unit containing an introduction, pre/post tests, several sample lesson plans, and a resource list. Each lesson plan states behavioral objectives, content, detailed learning activities, and needed resources. Time spent on each unit and lesson is left open, depending on the teacher, students, and situation. (LH)
