Grades K-6 (Career Awareness):
Technology Education programs are providing career awareness activities to elementary students. The Great Technology Adventure is being used to integrate the Technology Education curriculum with math, science, English and other core subject areas at these grade levels. The Great Technology Adventure elementary program creates an early Technology Education pipeline so when students graduate into middle school, they will be prepared to expand on an existing foundation of knowledge. The early introduction to careers and technology will carry students into the workplace of tomorrow. Grades seven and eight (Career Exploration): The Oklahoma school-to-work system emphasizes career exploration activities in grades 7 and 8. Career exploration and sampling opportunities are vital at this stage as students begin thinking about possible career choices and the education they will need to prepare for them. The Technology Education program places an emphasis on students at this age level. Students are encouraged to complete a six year plan of study and maintain a career portfolio as they progress through the program. Grades nine and ten (Career Preparation): Program goals at these grade levels are to insure that students obtain employability skills, explore selected technologies and careers more in-depth, offer job shadowing, job-site visits, and school-based enterprise opportunities.
