Chapter 7f: Findings, declarations relative to core curriculum content standards and cross-content workplace readiness standards.
Section: 18A:7f-4.1: Findings, declarations relative to core curriculum content standards and cross-content workplace readiness standards.
1. The Legislature finds and declares that:
a. the five cross-content workplace readiness standards, which are a part of the core curriculum content standards, apply to all areas of instruction and are concepts which are designed to be integrated by teachers into all programs in content-specific and grade-appropriate ways;
b. one of the cross-content workplace readiness standards is the requirement that all students use technology;
c. with the growing importance of technology to our society, it is vital that students receive an education that emphasizes technological literacy;
d. rather than being one component of the cross-content workplace readiness standards, technology, given its importance in our knowledge-based economy, should rightfully be one of the core fields of study in school, along with mathematics, science, social studies, world languages, visual and performing arts, comprehensive health and physical education and language arts/literacy that currently comprise the core curriculum content areas.
