The mission of Technology Foundations is the development of essential reading, writing and mathematics skills. Related Studies emphasizes the advanced skills of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry applicable to relevant program areas. The two program are intended to complement coursework in each occupational area providing the additional technical instruction and skill development to help each student become gainfully employed. Technology Foundations emphasizes the basic skills of language arts, reading, and mathematics. Soon after enrollment, new students are assessed in these three areas. Assessment is done via computer, using a program known as Plato, a Computer Managed Instructional (CMI) system. If it is determined that a person needs assistance in any of the areas of math, reading, or language, the student will schedule time in the Plato Computer Lab to review these areas. Typically, students spend approximately ten (10) hours per week in the Plato Lab until he/she can demonstrate proficiency, at the specified levels, in these subjects.
