This teacher handbook provides recommended goals and objectives and suggested measures for competency-based courses in the vocational program area of industrial arts. A background and overview section contains the philosophy and rationale, discusses thinking skills and programs for exceptional children, and provides notes that explain how to read the goals, objectives, and measures and offer suggestions for student placement, textbook use, and activities. This specific information is then provided for a vocational education competency-based curriculum: purpose and overview (target groups, philosophy, curriculum planning and design) and course of study. For industrial arts, grades 9-12, are offered a program description, learning outcomes, and scope and sequence. These courses are included in the curriculum: architectural drawing and planning, basic electricity/electronics technology, communications technology, construction technology, contemporary technology, energy/power and transportation, exploring technology, graphic arts technology, manufacturing technology, materials and processing, metals technology, plastics technology, technical drawing and planning, and wood technology. Materials provided for each course include a topical outline and a one-page format for each competency goal that details grade level, skills/subject area, the competency goal, objective(s), and measure(s) (suggestions of ways in which students may demonstrate their ability to meet the objective).
