09-29: Will the new Tech Ed program be successful?
The current Technology Education program has record low EOC VOCATS (state) exams throughout the state. Teachers are transferring from high school to middle school level at an alarming rate because the current courses lack enough fundamental skills to prepare students to pursue S.T.E.M. careers beyond high school. To prevent the Technology Education program from becoming a "dumping ground", Guilford County Schools has received permission from the North Carolina Department of Instruction (NC DPI) to implement a rigorous program that has provided data of being effective in nearby states whose students attend and are successful North Carolina colleges and universities offering S.T.E.M. degrees.

One thing I have notice is that school tend to focus on "Core curriculums" when creating student schedules. These are your math, English, and science classes that are required for graduation from the school system with a high school level degree. By focusing on just these course types we are not looking out for the students best interest. Yes we are making sure that they have the type of education they need to be able to function in society but we are not providing them with the need skills to survive in the modern work force.
