A school or district's technology education program consists of a series of courses that address standards. Recent trends (e.g., No Child Left Behind), administrative pressures to increase student achievement, or the school's desire to align with standards, challenge the technology education teacher to implement new courses into the technology education program. This task may seem daunting at first, but with proper planning and a little "know-how," this task can be an enjoyable experience that renews a teacher's energy and enthusiasm. How can teachers successfully implement a new course into the technology education program? The purpose of this article is to provide teachers with practical suggestions and helpful information; specifically, how to implement a new middle school course entitled "Invention and Innovation."
