Technology
education has gone under many changes since its first introduction into
the American school systems. It is no longer just the industrial arts,
but now it is construction, medicine, and computers. As the technology
in our society becomes more complicated and advanced, we need teachers
to educate the leaders and innovators of tomorrow on the inventions of
today.
Technology education allows learners to explore a variety of activities
related to many areas of human endeavor. Learners can develop problem
solving strategies and work habits that will be useful in almost any
career and or occupation. Learners should develop a greater appreciation
for the labor of craft workers and the skill required of that
occupation.
Within the scope of this educational program is the effort to develop
"soft skills" in the learner, as well as an opportunity for the learner
to see how systems work together and the chance to put much of the
academic class instruction to work in an applied way.
