7 Beginning in September2009, all Technological education courses for Grades 11 and 12 will be based on the expecta-tions outlined in this document. SECONDARY SCHOOLS FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY The goal of Ontario secondary schools is to support high-quality learning while givingindividual students the opportunity to choose programs that suit their skills and updated Ontario curriculum, in combination with a broader range of learningoptions outside traditional classroom instruction, will enable students to better customizetheir high school education and improve their prospects for success in school and in life. THE IMPORTANCE OF Technological EDUCATION IN THE CURRICULUM Technological innovation influences all areas of life, from the daily lives of individuals to the work of business and government, to interactions on a global scale. It helps meetbasic human needs and provides tools for improving people s lives and exploring newfrontiers.

8 The policy outlined in this document is designed to ensure that technologicaleducation in Ontario enables students to meet the challenges and opportunities of thetwenty-first century. The power, reach, and rapid evolution of technology demand a curriculum that will enablestudents to become technologically literate that is, able to understand, work with, andbenefit from a range of technologies. Students need to acquire the Technological skills andknowledge that will allow them to participate fully in a competitive global economy and tobecome responsible citizens in an environmentally vulnerable world. To succeed in today ssociety, students need to be effective problem solvers and critical thinkers, able to under-stand, question, and respond to the implications of Technological innovation. Students whopursue careers in technology will also need these high-level skills to develop solutions totechnological challenges or to provide the services required in their chosen fields.

9 Technological education focuses on developing students ability to work creatively andcompetently with technologies that are central to their lives. As they proceed throughtheir elementary and secondary school education, students attain a level of technologicalliteracy that will enhance their ability to succeed in their postsecondary studies or in theworkplace. For students who do not choose to pursue careers in technology, technologicaleducation can provide knowledge and skills that will enhance their daily lives, whetherby enabling them to work on home renovations or car repairs or by allowing them to pur-sue Technological Ontario CURRICULUM, Grades 11 AND 12| Technological Education6 Technological education promotes the integration of learning across subject disciplines. For example, when students design a product, they explore the social or human need thatthe product addresses (social science), the scientific principles involved in its design andconstruction (science), its dimensions and shape (mathematics), and the aesthetic qualitiesof its design (the arts).

10 When they assess the impact that new technologies have had ormay have on society, students are exploring historical or current events. When they con-sider how various technologies affect health and physical well-being, they are looking intoaspects of health and physical education. Students apply business principles to the study of the production and marketing of products. They apply literacy skills to communicatedesign ideas, produce reports summarizing Technological projects, and write instructionsfor the use of the products they create. Technological education also helps students developresearch skills and fosters creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving. In addition, inits emphasis on innovation to meet human needs, it encourages global citizenship and pro-motes social, economic, and environmental awareness. Subject matter from any course in Technological education can be combined with subjectmatter from one or more courses in other disciplines to create an interdisciplinary policies and procedures regarding the development of interdisciplinary courses are outlined in the interdisciplinary studies curriculum policy document.
