Abstract
Schools and businesses or communities can be effective partners in developing technology for education. The process will, realistically, begin with an assessment of needs.
Assessment of Needs:
To develop a program designed to highlight technology in education, "ground zero" meetings will be needed between all interested businesses and community leaders. These meetings will present lists of different types of businesses within the area, lists of various careers within each business and the community, types of training, and levels of training that each organization provides. In other words, what types of technology does this community have as resources, what does it need, and where would it like to be? These meetings will provide opportunities for business and community leaders to voice opinions on how to run technology education programs. Finally, the meetings will offer an excellent opportunity to discuss expectations of both the business and educational community regarding a technology education program (G. Tuttle, personal communication, October, 1995, regarding Technology Education Program at Pocahontas Area Community School District).
