This guide for a model industrial arts curriculum for state and local planning has been designed for public school administrators and teachers who wish to establish an industrial arts curriculum in their school or would like to expand an existing one. Covering levels K-12, the guide first suggests a program by operational levels. It then outlines programs for elementary, junior high, and senior high school industrial education. Concepts to be taught and learning activities are suggested for each level. The elementary level is more general, while the junior and senior high levels focus on specific subjects of the industrial arts curriculum. Topics covered in the junior high curriculum include industrial and technological literacy, communications, construction, manufacturing, energy/power, and transportation. Senior high curriculum concentrates on design/drafting, graphic arts, construction, wood technology, industrial crafts, electrical/electronic technology, plastics technology, metal technology, and power technology. Goals and sample outcomes are provided for each area of instruction. Suggestions for teacher education also are provided. Appendixes to the guide review instructional approaches, suggest evaluation standards for industrial education, and outline the services of the South Dakota Association of the American Industrial Arts Student Association. A list of resources is included in the guide. (KC)
