WHAT THE REAL. WORLD NEEDS

Occupational Application of Tasks and Skills

A Communication Application Curriculum and Tech Prep Project

by Collette M. Winfield and Gaylene Bradley

Purpose:

The purpose of the Communication Application Curriculum Project was to define the reading,

writing, speaking, and listening tasks routinely performed by persons working in careers that

Moraine Park students are preparing to enter.

Further, the objective of the project was to design a tool that will enable teachers at both the

post-secondary and the secondary levels to show students the communication skills needed if they

hope to be successful in particular careers. This tool will hopefully also aid students during the

planning and preparation stage for entering technical college programs of study.

Methodology:

Researchers Collette M. Winfield, communication instructor at Moraine Park Technical College, and

Gaylene Bradley, English instructor at Laconia High School, drew up the following format to be used

in the development of the data sheets for each program.
