Thank you to all who attended our 60th Annual TEEAP Conference on November 8-9. This year's conference theme was "TEEAP: Helping Children Learn”.
General Sessions
The first general session featured Dr. Kendall N. Starkweather from the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA). Dr. Starkweather efforts have been directed towards educational materials on such topics as problem-solving and technology, how technology affects people and the environment, controlling technological systems, and the impacts of technology on people and the environment. During this time, ITEEA has grown in national and international prominence effecting a transition toward technology teaching. Dr. Starkweather offered an outstanding perspective on the history of our organization highlighting changes as well as parallels to the past that we are once again experiencing today.
The second general session will featured Jeff Dubosq and a look back on the past 60 years of TEEAP as well as our very own “Diamond in the rough”, Van Hughes and his wisdoms of the history of our TEEAP organization, and inspiration for the future of our organization.

The theme ITEEA's 76th Annual Conference is Technological and Engineering Literacy Core Connections. We know that the pace of innovation will continue to be rapid and globally interconnected. The population of individuals who are involved with or affected by technology will be increasingly diverse and multidisciplinary. Social, cultural, political, and economic forces will continue to shape and affect the success of innovation. The presence of technology in our every day lives means that students need to make those Core Connections to be successful..
This conference is an opportunity to recognize and honor the accomplishments of our colleagues and best-practice programs. Additionally, it provides professional development and networking opportunities, as well as opportunity to renew old friendships and create new friendships. For more information, click here.
