The State of Pennsylvania recently established curriculum standards for Science and Technology. Technology Education addresses many of these. The very important PSSA testing, an key part of "No Child Left Behind" bases its content on these standards.
Technology Education helps students succeed with their PSSA tests as it not only teaches about the Technology Standards but also reinforces students' knowledge in other disciplines, such as Math, Science, Reading, etc. To review Pennsylvania's Science and Technology Standards, click here: http://www.pde.state.pa.us/k12/lib/k12/scitech.pdf
Incidentally, last year, Maple Point met all of its PSSA targets! We believe that Technology Education played a part in that.
