Typewriting 10-20-30. Senior High School Teacher Resource Manual.
Alberta Dept. of Education, Edmonton. Curriculum Branch.
This manual is designed to assist typewriting teachers in the implementation of the Alberta, Canada, Typewriting 10-20-30 Curriculum (1985). Many ideas contained in the handbook can also be used in curricula that address keyboarding or the skill of typing in computer keyboarding, dictaphone typing, or word processing. The manual is organized in five sections. The first section introduces the typewriting program and provides a list of course objectives and a flowchart of the course modules. In the second section, instructional and lesson planning are covered. The third section features skill development and includes instructional suggestions for these areas: building skills, causes of typing errors, elements of good typewriting techniques, building touch-typing skills, building composition skills, building production skills, and hints for teaching typewriting on the computer. Section IV describes the facilities needed for the typewriting course, including the room, equipment, and design of a typewriting laboratory. The final section of the manual covers student evaluation, providing general guidelines and discussing distribution of marks for technique, speed and accuracy, production, and theory. Various charts to be used in the course are included at the end of the manual. (KC)
