1. Integrating the Ohio Academic Content Standards for Technology into the Delaware City Schools Bob Claymier District Technology Center Delaware, Ohio

2. Purpose of Standards Provide a set of clear and rigorous expectations. Provide clarity to Ohio teachers of what content and skills should be taught at each grade-level. However, how the material will be taught is a local school district decision.

3. View of the Standards A minimum level; e.g., least amount necessary to survive. ~vs~ What students deserve; e.g., needed for full, successful daily and work life and options open.

4. Mandates that the State Board of Education adopt content standards that “specify the academic content and skills that students are expected to know and be able to do at each grade level.” -link to Senate Bill 1 and Bill Analysis -http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/bills.cfm?ID=124_SB_1http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/bills.cfm?ID=124_SB_1 -Sec. 3301.079 -June 12, 2001 Ohio Senate Bill 1
