This eighth in a series of eleven learning modules on program planning, development, and evaluation is designed to assist secondary and postsecondary vocational teachers in preparing and updating vocational education courses of study. (A course of study describes who is to be taught, what is to be taught, how much time will be allotted to each instructional area, and what references, resources, tools, and equipment will be used.) Introductory sections relate the competencies dealt with here to others in the program and list both the enabling objectives for the three learning experiences and the resources required. Materials in the learning experiences include required readings (e.g., basic components of a course of study, development procedures, sequencing objectives, time allocations), self-check quizzes, model answers, a case study to critique, a model critique, and the teacher performance assessment form for use in evaluation of the terminal objective. (The modules on program planning, development, and evaluation are part of a larger series of 100 field-tested performance-based teacher education (PBTE) self-contained learning packages for use in preservice or inservice training of teachers in all occupational areas.)
