8. Emphasis Courses Added emphasis subjects are now predefined with their own designated course codes in grades 11/12 benefits of emphasis courses? –excellent option for focused credit bundles –meets a community need –aligns with staff expertise–Identifies what you are actually delivering –allows specialization in a specific sector or career path, but not to the total exclusion of the other related areas of the Broad Based technology (BBT) subject –allows students to take multiple credits within a technology subject area and within a specific grade level (10, 11 or 12)

9. BBT Emphasis Option cont’d are identified by 3 rd character in course code (grades 11-12 only) are still activity-based and project-driven, etc. (per standard BBT philosophy) Note: any grade 11 BBT or emphasis course within a subject area serves as a prerequisite for any grade 12 BBT or emphasis course within that same subject area

16. Expectation Organization Overall expectations must be evaluated Specific expectations must be addressed

17. FAQ

18. What prerequisites are required for emphasis courses? any grade 11 BBT or emphasis course within a subject area serves as a prerequisite for any grade 12 BBT or emphasis course within that same subject area

19. Can emphasis courses be offered in grade 10? only the broad based technology (BBT) courses can be offered in grade 10….emphasis courses can only be offered in grades 11-12

20. Can students take more than one BBT or emphasis course within a grade level? emphasis subjects are now predefined with their own designated course codes and therefore students can take a multiple of courses within the same grade level e.g., students can now take TDA 3M (Architecture) and TDV 3M (Interior Design)

21. Emphasis course descriptors are board specific. Simply add a sentence or two to the BBT descriptor. Where do we find emphasis course descriptors?

22. Are portfolios assessed or evaluated in Technological Design? Portfolios are evaluated since they are listed as overall expectations.

23. Are portfolios assessed or evaluated in Technological Design? Portfolios are evaluated since they are listed as overall expectations.

24. Tree Chart Activity Individually or in groups: choose one Tech Design course to review, summarize the “big idea” in the descriptor for that course select one strand summarize the “big idea” for each overall expectation summarize the “big idea” for each specific expectation
