The Audio/Visual Technology program is designed to prepare students to apply technical knowledge and skill in three areas. 1. Writing, directing, production and performance of broadcast journalism for television and radio. 2. Communication of dramatic information, ideas, moods and feelings through the making, producing and editing of films and video. 3. Production of sound recording as finished products or as components of film/video, broadcast, live or mixed media productions.

An integrated approach of teaching and learning is provided as students enhance their technical knowledge and skills that are associated with functions within Audio/Visual Technology occupations. In addition to the occupation related skills, students completing this program will develop advanced critical thinking, applied academics, interpersonal relations, life management, business, economic and leadership skills required for the 21st century workplace. The Audio/Visual Technology program consists of a core curriculum and three areas of specialization for a student to choose from: Option A: Electronic Journalism, Option B: Interactive Digital Media, or Option C: Radio/Audio Technologies. The program uses a delivery system made up of four integral parts: formal/technical instruction, experiential learning, supervised occupational experience and the Career and Technical Student Organization, SkillsUSA.
