Why did MSDE change the Advanced Technology Education completer requirement?
In November 2005, the Maryland State Board of Education adopted new Regulations .01 & .02 under COMAR 13A.04.01 Program in Technology Education to align instructional programs in Advanced Technology Education for grades 10-12 with the content standards of the new Voluntary State Curriculum in Technology Education. The deadline for implementing the new regulations was moved from September 2006 to September 2007. In response to the new regulations, the following BCPS courses will be eligible for the Advanced Technology Education graduation credit effective 2007-08.
