Professional Development Centers
The ITEA Center produces various curriculum
and support products each year. As a part of professional
development, the Center provides train-the-trainer workshops
for designated state trainers and ITEA institutional university
members on each of these products. The workshops are held
in conjunction with the ITEA Annual Conference each year.
These workshops prepare trainers that will in turn provide
professional development for teachers in their respective
states. Sixteen universities have stepped forward to become
Designated Professional Development Centers.
Center Curriculum Specialists
The International Technology Education Association's (ITEA) Center to Advance the Teaching of Technology & Science (Center) proudly announces new professional development opportunities with the Engineering byDesign™ (EbD™) Curriculum Specialists. These specialists have been trained to deliver consistent professional development on Engineering byDesign – the Standards-Based Model Program – including the courses, assessments, professional development and sharing opportunities and other aspects that comprise the Program. Specialists will provide a broad overview of the Program, then focus in on a specific course. The amount of material covered is determined by the amount of time provided for the institute or workshop.
Center Workshops
CATTS offers quality, standards-based teacher
workshops run by national presenters. Workshops provide training
for up to 50 teachers at requested sites. Workshop fee covers
presenter, hands-on training materials, and publications.
ITEA Standards
Specialists Workshops
The ITEA Standards Specialists have completed
several intensive training sessions to prepare them to provide
presentations or to conduct half-day, full-day, or multi-day
interpretation and implementation workshops on STL and AETL.
Let Us Customize a Professional Development Experience
for You!
Tell us what you need. We will assemble the necessary resources
and coordinate the total experience. The cost will be determined
by factors such as the nature of the content to be provided,
format of the delivery, number of participants, duration of
the experience, and your location.
This professional development could update existing teachers,
re-certify teachers in the field, and help to certify “out-of-field”
teachers. Workshops are also available for curriculum coordinators,
counselors, principals, district administrators, school board
members, legislators, and business, industry, and community
leaders.
While the professional development will be customized, we bring
expertise in technology education: what it is, why it is essential
for students to understand our humanly built world, and how
to implement the study of technology in our Nation’s schools.
All work is standards-based. Emphasis is placed on technology
as content and context with applications of science, mathematics,
and other important subject matter.
Topics could include issues of philosophy, standards-based
curriculum, student assessment, staff development, facility
design, and instructional resources, to mention several.
