Begin the process at the performance objective level, that is, what the student will be able to do after the learning. By entering the process at this point and measuring what the student is being asked to learn against the standards, the relevance and/or need of the material can easily be assessed.--Tom Crook

Task Management

Task Management was another core function that emerged as necessary for all eight career clusters. The elements necessary for effective task management were perceived to be:

  • Define the scope of work to achieve individual and group goals
  • Develop time and activity plan to achieve objectives
  • Identify and obtain tools and resources to do the job
  • Coordinate and implement work processes and procedures
  • Monitor, analyze, and evaluate work processes and procedures
  • Generate and maintain task status report

There was variation however, between career clusters on the importance of task management to being a successful worker in a given career area.

Curriculum Recommendation:

  1. All IT programs should incorporate outcomes and competencies that address task management.
  2. The amount of emphasis on task management will vary depending on the nature of the IT program.
  3. See appendix for sample core outcomes, key competencies, and performance indicators.
