and look to ITOs to provide for developing skills beyond a unit's worth.
We presume students are at beginners level at start of every Technology unit regardless of level i.e. a Year 12/13, NCEA level 2/3 unit would assume students have had basic, compulsory Yr 9/10 skills. If students want to go build on skill level from Year 11, that would go towards earning ITO unit standards. Technology achievement standards allow for varying levels of skills and knowledge but teachers would plan for students at year 10 level and guide students to plan a project at their own skill level.
