High School Implementation Guides
The resource materials and links contained below are intended to help you implement a number of High School level courses for Technology Education. Keep in mind that while we still make these materials available, TEEAP has officially endorsed Engineering by Design as our recommended curriculum materials for Technology & Engineering Education here in Pennsylvania.
Technological Design & Systems (Grade 9)
Technological Design and Systems is a foundation course in technology for all students in the ninth grade. This exciting, hands-on course provides an overview of the systems areas of bio-related, information, and physical technology. Students, working alone or in groups, will build a foundation for technological literacy by developing, producing, testing and assessing solutions to technological problems. Also, the impacts of technology will be analyzed.

Innovation & Inventions (Grades 11 or 12)
Innovation & Inventions helps students develop critical thinking and problem solving skills. Innovation & Invention integrates the technological problem solving method with knowledge of science, mathematics, communications and other disciplines. It provides students with opportunities to research, design, develop, build, test and evaluate solutions to real life problems related to meeting human needs and wants. Content is drawn from Bio-related, Physical and Information Technologies; however, each student or group will focus on those areas that match their goal. This capstone course may be used to satisfy a student’s senior project or community project.

Understanding Your Future Home (Grade 12)
Understanding Your Future Home is an activity-based course that focuses on the construction process, design elements, material selections, mechanical systems, and infrastructure of building and maintaining a home. Students will study the way in which a house is constructed using various materials, methods, trades, and techniques. The class will work collaboratively to design a downsized utility shed to stimulate how the construction process unfolds on a new addition or structure.

We got a new name, and a new website to boot in 2010! There have been a number of upgrades, and the some pages have moved due to a reorganization of the website. If you are unable to find something, please use the SiteMap or the Google Search Box to locate it.
Your feedback and comments on the new layout are always welcome.

Thank you to everyone who attended the 2011 TEEAP Conference! We encourage you to consider presenting at next year's conference on November 8-9, 2012. Visit our Conference page for some information concerning the 2011 Conference as well as the form to sign up to present at next year's conference. Information for the 2012 Conference will be available during late June or early July of 2012.
The ITEEA's 74th Annual Conference theme for 2012 is Changing the Conversation: Improving P-16 Technology & Engineering. This theme is both important and timely as the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields are crucial to the economic competitiveness and growth of America.
The ITEEA Conference is the opportunity to recognize and honor the accomplishments of our colleagues and best-practice programs. Additionally, this conference will also provide professional development opportunities, networking opportunities, an opportunity to renew old friendships, and opportunities to create new friendships.
