The three-year plan includes development of a State industrial arts guide, development of instructional materials common to all existing programs, and inservice teacher education for program implementation. To date only the first phase has been completed, with total project completion scheduled for the next three years. Master plan committee members, secondary school industrial arts instructors, and State education representatives, attended a series of leadership development workshops. This committee was responsible for establishing priorities, soliciting industrial arts input on a Statewide basis, evaluating materials, and recommending guidelines. The major topics of the guide developed for industrial arts education in North Dakota include: philosophy and goals, curriculum structure and content base, industrial arts physical facilities, teacher qualifications, criteria for reimbursement of industrial arts programs, and operational guidelines. The guide will be used as the framework for development of instructional materials in the second phase. (KJ)
