Legal/Medical ABE Pre-Vocational Clerical Skills. Final Report.
Molek, Carol
This document describes the development and implementation of curriculum to train adult basic education students who are considering clerical careers in the legal and medical fields. The 17-page project report outlines the following aspects: (1) development of an entry-level math and English curriculum; (2) use of computer simulation for legal or medical work environments; (3) completion of the 160-hour course by 19 students; and (4) follow-up of student progress and referral to appropriate further training. A list of software used by the project and a list of nine recommended publications follow the report. The legal outline contains learning objectives and topics for 8 weeks of instruction. The medical outline contains learning objectives, topics for 8 weeks of instruction, student worksheets and/or quizzes, and their answers. A description of competency measurement is followed by sample student progress records from the pre/posttests. Other contents are as follows: sample materials from the Northampton Community College clerical curriculum; class handouts (enrollment procedures, application, schedules, rules, follow-up form); and student evaluations of both the legal and medical courses.
