<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleague<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Course in Safe Use of Machinery for Technology Teaching is currently going through a reaccreditation process.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As part of the reaccreditation process, it is necessary to collect data from those the course is designed for (i.e. technology teachers, specifically in the wood/metal areas), to determine the importance they place on the skills and knowledge
to be covered in such a course. Attached is a survey to rate listed skills and knowledge; there is also a space for teachers to write in any skills and knowledge they consider critical or very important. In addition, you may wish to make general comments.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please note that this is <b>not</b> an evaluation of the course you may have already done; rather it is to determine what you think is most/least important in terms of the listed skills and knowledge.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Once you’ve completed the survey, please return it to Beverly Adams at
<a href="mailto:adams.beverly.j@edumail.vic.gov.au">adams.beverly.j@edumail.vic.gov.au</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your participation in this survey will be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
