A. Technology Education at the middle/junior high grades should provide a variety of laboratory and classroom experiences with an emphasis on orientation and exploration. The curriculum develops students' aptitudes, abilities, and interests, while at the same time develops their appreciation for technical knowledge. Through "hands-on" experiences, students learn about industry and are thereby provided with the skills useful in making informed and meaningful occupational choices.

B. Three primary goals are:

1. to develop in each student technical competencies, concepts, and basic skills common to industrial-technical materials and processes;

2. to develop in each student an awareness of industry and technology and its effect on a changing, evolving society; and

3. to provide each student with an opportunity to explore:
a. construction;

b. manufacturing;

c. communication;

d. transportation; and

e. other related clusters of industrial activity.

C. Technology Education programs at the middle/junior grades provide students with the opportunity to explore in a "hands-on" way many of the occupational areas associated with industry. This type of activity can be invaluable as students seek to determine those areas that are consistent with their interests and abilities.
