Technological Design, Grades 9 & 10

Teachers will learn how to structure their tech design programs effectively, prioritizing safety, student supervision, and inclusive environments while exploring different lesson types, project planning, project management, assessment approaches, and addressing health and wellness needs. Candidates will engage with topics related to equity, Culturally Responsive and Relevant Pedagogy (CRRP), and poverty, facilitating transition planning and career exploration and integrating tech design with other subjects in the Ontario curriculum.

This course also emphasizes safety standards, environmental sustainability, and creating inclusive learning environments, as teachers will address workplace harassment, discrimination, equity, and bias considerations in technological design. They will focus on promoting accessible and inclusive designs for underserved groups. Participants will explore various assessment techniques, incorporating UDL principles for inclusive practices, fostering a process that promotes student growth, self-assessment, goal-setting, and diverse representation.
