Performance Specifications for Occupational Programs.
Maryland State Dept. of Education, Baltimore. Div. of Career Technology and Adult Learning.
This document lists and discusses the development of Maryland's performance specifications for occupational programs. The introduction explains the process used to develop performance standards and specifications for 10 career cluster majors that were identified by a task force of educators and employers as high-demand occupational areas in Maryland and were approved by a verification work group consisting of occupational and academic teachers from 12 Maryland counties and representatives of 28 Maryland businesses. Potential uses of the performance specifications by educators/trainers, workers, and businesses are listed. Appendixes constituting more than 90% of the document contain profiles of Maryland's programs to prepare students for employment in the following occupational areas: allied health; bioscience technician; computer-aided drafting and design; carpentry; child care and guidance; electronics; graphic communication and printing; heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics; horticulture; and secretarial and related programs. Each profile includes the following: program cluster; program title; program description; and identified occupational, foundation, and workplace skills. (MN)
