The Curriculum Committee met today in the Brandt Professional Development Center- each group again made moderate progress on units and preparations were made for a fairly big push of activity over the next week. With full day meetings scheduled for this Saturday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the curriculum committee will have some continuous all day sessions bringing back the feel that was generated this past summer. Highlights today included a discussion on expanding the Technology curriculum to include Technology 8.2; a push to create units rather than refine older units; and fully operational rooms with computers and printers for each of the discipline groups (thanks to David Bailey and all the IT crew for their help). The group met from 3pm-4:30pm.STANDARD 8.2 (TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION) ALL STUDENTS WILL DEVELOP AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE NATURE AND IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, TECHNOLOGICAL DESIGN, AND THE DESIGNED WORLD AS THEY RELATE TO THE INDIVIDUAL, SOCIETY, AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
