Abstract: Intended to facilitate the improvement of industrial arts education in Pennsylvania, the guidelines for planning and development emphasize an interdisciplinary approach. They are aimed at professional personnel and are divided into general provisions which are applied (with changes in specific content where appropriate) to elementary, middle school, and secondary grades, higher education, and special programs for mentally and physically handicapped, academically talented, disadvantaged, and adults. The general provisions are (1) rationale and purpose of industrial arts; (2) legal and regulatory considerations, covering certification, curriculum, and school buildings; (3) students of all age levels; (4) programs in industrial materials, power technology, and visual communication, and their content, methods, interdisciplinary aspects, learners, curriculum, and facilities; (5) professional personnel, i.e., instructional, administrative, supervisory, resource, paraprofessional, and consultant; (6) learning resources, i.e., facilities, equipment, materials and supplies, and media; (7) administration, i.e., financing, scheduling, legal responsibilities, staff development, and maintenance; and (8) evaluation, internal and external.
