We asked students, and
guess what they actually
wanted??
“Being modern and with the technology curve would benefit
the school. Making the school modern and natural would
take much balance, but if perfected would make the school
look like a better place in the whole.” Andrew M.

“Why teach students the past. When they get a job, they will
need to know the now. The more we stay with the times, the
more beneficial to the students in the long run.” Joseph F.
This resulted in
3
Benefit
Targets
Applied Technology
1. Student centered,
including an analysis of each
student’s IEP, interest surveys, and
aptitude profiles
2.Current technology based,
being relevant, vocational, and
foundational
3. Application focused,
allowing students to be positioned to
leave school with a specific and
relevant career focus.

Then came selecting
5
target technologies
???????
1) Computer Graphics
2) Photography
3) Sign/Poster
Production
4) Programming
5) 3D Printing
Applied Technology
1st
Semester Goals
Applied Technology
Students will be in this program for
three semesters:
1) Exploration of technology:
- try each of the technologies to find interests
1) Refinement of aptitude and interests:
- acquire sufficient knowledge and experience to narrow
areas of interest and aptitude
3) Development of career options:
- begin the process of matching skills and aptitudes to
competitive employment opportunities
Students time will be spent by doing
activities in each of the Core Technologies
which will involve:
1) learning
2) practicing
3) journaling
4) developing a portfolio

At the end of the first semester, a 2nd
Semester is designed to be unique to
each student
2nd
Semester Goals
Applied Technology
Gather student information:
1)1st
Semester Exit survey
2)Career Aptitude results
3)IEP / PPT regarding career information
4)School/Academic Progress summary
5)Occupation Career Groups: top 3 results
The 2nd semester curriculum is based on an analysis of the

about Dave Ricker:
Created the Applied Technology Program at The Learning Clinic, Brooklyn, CT
- 6 areas: Photography, Computer Graphics, Poster Production, Audio/Video, and
Architecture/3D Printing and Programming
- wrote curriculum, specified technology and equipment, and designed layout
- instructed Applied Technology;
- supervised and monitored activities in Applied Technology, Applied Visual Arts, the Art Studio, and
Performing Arts;
- coordinated lessons to develop the knowledge and skills of students.
Focused on teaching students how to learn. This is the key for future survival in any technology area.
Utilized unique personal assets:
- skilled at directing, motivating and leading technology groups, without being an expert in each
environment;
- background which relates technology in the work-place.
Management experience is pointedly relevant to Applied Technology:
- General Electric: instrumentation technicians in industrial and nuclear sectors
- General Electric: apparatus service professionals for motors, generators and transformers for
manufacturing and power generation
- American Optical: instrumentation technicians for non-contact tonometers, optical
microscopes and scanning electron microscopes
- Instrumentation Laboratories: field service engineers and technicians for blood gas analyzer
and centrifugal analyzer medical instrumentation
- Sir Speedy Printing and Graphics: digital graphics professionals for artwork preparation and
digital printing preparation.
