The materials will be targeted for the 11th and 12th grade levels andwill be designed to develop a comprehensive technical foundation for post-secondarycommunity college technician education. The materials will be designed to be deliveredusing a constuctivist approach that utilizes a series of technological problem solvingactivities. ProBase will provide pre-technical high school students with a comprehensivecurriculum, designed to prepare them to enter community college technician programs.ProBase will develop and field-test curriculum materials designed to fill the gap between(a) the curriculum content standards developed at the national level (i.e., Standards forTechnological Literacy, the National Science Education Standards, and the CurriculumStandards for School Mathematics) and (b) the entry-level knowledge and skills neededby students entering community college technical education programs. This curriculumwill focus on core concepts identified in the Standards for Technological Literacy as wellas a set of Bridge Competencies identified by the Community College consortiuminvolved in the project. The materials will be produced and disseminated by theInternational Technology Education Association.
