The duties of a drafting teacher revolve around teaching students the principles and correct use of drafting programs such as AutoCAD, which are often used in construction or architecture. Their responsibilities often include designing a curriculum, teaching a class, and working to demonstrate the use of computer-aided design or CAD software. They also assign homework, administer tests, and work with the high school, college, or school district to establish grade criteria and goals for the CAD program. Since computer-aided design relies on software, a drafting teacher may also develop and administer an online curriculum to teach students skills.
