WV Curriculum Materials

The WVDE is in the process of reviewing the Content Standards and Objectives for all Career and Technical courses. Along with updting the content standards for Technology Education, a 21st Century Instructional Guide is also being developed. The guide will serve as a tool to assist the Technology Education Teacher with program implementation. The information will be made available upon board approval. Middle School Tech Ed teachers are encouraged to utilize the Design and Discovery Curriculum offered through Intel. This free curriculum is designed to introduce youth ages 11-15 to engineering through design. You may visit the Intel website for Facilitator Guides, Student Guides, Implementation Strategies, and Supply Lists by visiting Intel, Innovation in Education.
