Section LXXXI-307 - Senior High Level

A. Technology Education at the senior high school level provides concentrated and somewhat specialized technical courses designed to meet the industrially-related consumer needs of secondary students as well as preparing students for enrollment in advanced vocational-technical programs. High school programs may use combinations of general and unit organization as a part of their delivery system. At this level elective options are important because they help students to expand career awareness, technological literacy, consumer skills, and skills and knowledge related to the world of work. Such options play a significant role in assisting students in making job-related decisions as they progress through the formal education system. Students in the upper grades evidence a wide range of interests, abilities, and life goals. With this in mind, designers of Technology Education programs must provide courses that attempt to address the widest possible range of students' needs and interests. In the Technology Education program, not all students will study the same depth or type of content. For example, courses and content may be tailored to a student who may be involved in advanced career-technical training as a portion of the regular high school program.

B. Technology Education at the high school level will address the following types of student needs:

1. to provide basic instruction to meet the needs of three basic groups of students:

a. the elective student who seeks to explore more deeply the career, cultural, and consumer aspects of American industry;

b. those students who will pursue advanced education in areas of career, technical, industrial education, and the applied sciences; and

c. the reluctant learner, the prospective dropout, the culturally unique, and those students who may be entering the labor force either prior to normal graduation or immediately thereafter;

2. to provide the students with practical and realistic learning situations that simulate the industrial and technical world of work;

3. to develop in all students those attitudes and attributes that will assist them in becoming productive members of our technical society.
