This module is one of a series of 127 performance-based teacher education learning packages that focus upon specific professional competencies of vocational teachers. The competencies upon which these modules are based were identified and verified through research as being important to successful vocational teaching at both the secondary and postsecondary levels of instruction. The modules are suitable for the preparation of teachers and other occupational trainers in all occupational areas. This module describes the factors that the teacher must consider when planning for educational resources (i.e., tools, materials, equipment) needed for lessons. It is designed to help teachers acquire the skills necessary to develop a systematic approach to the task of projecting the need for and acquiring instructional tools, materials, and supplies so that the vocational-technical program will run smoothly and efficiently. The module contains a terminal objective, two enabling objectives, a list of outside resources, and three learning experiences. Each learning experience contains an enabling objective, activities, information, and a self-check with model answers. The final learning experience is an actual teaching situation in which the prospective teacher is to project instructional resource needs and be assessed by a resource person. (KC)
