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).

2024 NYS Teacher of the Year

In August 2023, NYSACTE announced Brenda Moore as their 2024 Teacher of the Year. Brenda graduated from the Orange/Ulster BOCES Career-Technical Education Center in 1993. When she was a student in the Cosmetology program there, she was named the New York State Vocational Education Student of the Year. Four years later, after gaining industry experience and a college degree, Brenda returned to teach at the school she loved so much. Now in her 26th year of teaching Cosmetology, Brenda is even more passionate about CTE.

Brenda's principal Eugene Hewitt says: "Without hesitation, you could not recognize a more devoted, compassionate, and highly talented educator. Brenda's singular impact and influence on her academy and her students has been immeasurable. Her students' overwhelming success and her program's growth are a testament to her dedication to the Division of CTE and Orange-Ulster BOCES."

Congratulations, Brenda!

The Australian Mental Wellbeing Index provides a snapshot insight into the everyday mental wellbeing of Australia. It explores the factors that contribute to mental wellbeing and aims to generate a national conversation about how Australians can take a proactive approach to support mental wellbeing.

We've recently released the second annual report exploring the data collected across 2022-2023. The latest report shows young Australians aged 18-24, are experiencing poorer mental wellbeing than older age groups and poorer levels of focus and concentration may be a key driver of this.

This is a great resource I have not seen too many people talk about. My new school district has introduced me to this tool. It is amazing to have students practice certain skills independently. You can host whole group "class jam's" (which are great for engagement) or you can assign individual work.
