CTE and Academic Webinar
 

Since the integration of CTE and Academics is a main focus, CTE directors and teachers may want to attend the one-hour webinar at the following website: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/644355434.  The webinar is scheduled for Tuesday, March 9.

 

Name Change

 

ITEA (International Technology Education Association is now ITEEA (International Technology and Engineering Education Association).  You will see our materials migrate toward the change as fast as we come across each document.

 

The ITEEA Board of Directors felt this director will assist all our teachers and students to better understand the importance of Engineering and Education as careers.  Both Technology Education and Engineering Education is in need of good teachers and middle managers in the fields of technology and engineering.

 

 

The Membership voted and the name changed passed by 81% and became effective immediately.

CATTS - Center to Advance the Teaching of Technology & Science has also been changed to the

STEM Center for Teaching and Learning™.

E-Tiger:  We have created a Middle School and a High School download.  We still have the TEE download page, but it was getting to large and difficult to scroll through to find what you were searching for.  All curriculum, standards, competencies are now located in the MS or HS folder.

 

Please use the same username and password you have been assigned.  I did find 68 teachers who do not have an e-tiger account.  We are going to create one for you and I will email your information.  The tomtest will only be active until January 15th.
