Technology Education: Definition

Commissioner's Regulations Part 100.4 (a)(1) defines technology education as a program of instruction designed to assist all students in meeting state intermediate standards for technology. Technology education uses concepts of science, mathematics, social science, and language arts in a hands-on, systems-based approach to problem solving that guides students in the understanding, design, and development of systems, devices, and products to serve human needs and wants.

Technology Education: Description

Technology education is an integral program of study within the New York State mathematics, science, and technology (MST) Learning Standards. Technology education evolved from the subject area called industrial arts. In the mid-1980's technology education replaced industrial arts in more ways than its name.

In addition to offering students opportunities to apply their mathematics and science skills, technology education programs at the high school level offer opportunities to explore technology-related careers. At the middle level, technology education can be used to meet the 1 ¾ unit CTE requirement as specified by Commissioners Regulation 100.4 (c).

Healthy Development

The early years of a child's life are very important for their health and development. Healthy development means that children of all abilities, including those with special health care needs, are able to grow up where their social, emotional and educational needs are met. Having a safe and loving home and spending time with family―playing, singing, reading, and talking―are very important. Proper nutrition, exercise, and sleep also can make a big difference.

Effective Parenting Practices

Parenting takes many different forms. However, some positive parenting practices work well across diverse families and in diverse settings when providing the care that children need to be happy and healthy, and to grow and develop well. A comprehensive report looked at the evidence in scientific publications for what works, and found these key ways that parents can support their child's healthy development:

Responding to children in a predictable way

Showing warmth and sensitivity

Having routines and household rules

Sharing books and talking with children

Supporting health and safety

Using appropriate discipline without harshness

Parents who use these practices can help their child stay healthy, be safe, and be successful in many areas-emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and social. Read more about the report here.

Developmental Milestones

Skills such as taking a first step, smiling for the first time, and waving "bye-bye" are called developmental milestones. Children reach milestones in how they play, learn, speak, behave, and move (for example, crawling and walking).

Children develop at their own pace, so it's impossible to tell exactly when a child will learn a given skill. However, the developmental milestones give a general idea of the changes to expect as a child gets older.

As a parent, you know your child best. If your child is not meeting the milestones for their age, or if you think there could be a problem with your child's development, talk with your child's doctor and share your concerns. Don't wait.
