Section LXXXI-523 - Grades 6-8A. Purpose and Scope 1. The technology systems of communication, manufacturing, construction, transportation, and modular technology make up the curriculum direction for the Exploratory Technology Education Program. Each school will integrate the technology education program at the most appropriate grade level to best serve the needs of the local school body, school, and community.2. All Exploratory Education courses are taught in a one-period block of time, with each of the technology systems being designed to articulate with courses offered in comprehensive high schools (e.g., math, science, agriculture, and family and consumer sciences). Interdisciplinary education is vital to the success of Technology Education Programs.B. Exploratory Technology Education I. The first exploratory technology education course in which a student participates is identified as the Exploratory Technology Education I course. This course may be offered as a nine-week, 18-week, or 36-week course and is recommended for grade 6. C. Exploratory Technology Education II. Two of the four technology systems are to be implemented for a period of 18 weeks each. It is the responsibility of the local school/program to select which two systems to implement for grade 7. D. Exploratory Technology Education III. Each school program will implement the remaining two technology systems not implemented in the previous technology education course. This level is optional, as some schools may not have appropriate time periods for implementation for grade 8. La. Admin. Code tit. 28, § LXXXI-523
