This course content guide was developed in accordance with the Standards for Accreditation of Public Schools adopted by the Arkansas State Board of Education. The guide is offered as a framework upon which a curriculum can be built. Within each subject area the content guide identifies skills at three instructional levels: basic, developmental, and extensions. The basic skills are those skills that all students must master and upon which the minimum performance test items are based. Extensions are suggested for those learners who have mastered the required basic and recommended developmental skills. Extensions stress the higher order thinking, processing, and problem-solving skills. These extensions suggest ways for the teacher to broaden student learning on grade level without introducing more basic skills from subsequent grade levels. This guide lists skills for the following three health occupations courses: exploratory (medical terms and abbreviations, asepsis, organization and general plan of the body, health care careers, Health Occupations Students of America, employability skills, safety/body mechancis, medical ethics, health care agencies and facilities, career decisions, job specific skills, mini-shadowing, advanced medical terminology, field trips, and employability skills); course I (first aid, metrics, medical terminology, human relations, anatomy, physiology and diseases, nutrition, medications, job skills, advanced microbes and disease); and course II (human relations, anatomy, physiology and diseases, nutrition, advanced medical terminology, and job skills).
