One of three documents presenting performance objectives for prevocational courses, this document contains performance objectives for courses in business education including general business and beginning typing. (The other two documents present performance objectives for prevocational courses in home economics, CE 018 863, and industrial arts, CE 018 862.) Career education and safety components are integrated into each set of performance objectives. The career education aspects included are skills in mathematics, reading and language arts, self awareness, occupational skills, exploration, consumer education, and decision making. Each set of objectives is identified by a course designation, and four columns of information are used to present the content of each objective: conditions, performance, criteria, and instructional resources. Fifty-four performance objectives for prevocational business education courses are included in this document. (BM)
