The primary focus for the National Symposium is to develop research-based models for the professional development of K-12 engineering and technology teachers. Science and mathematics educators have used effective, research-based, professional development programs and materials to strengthen the skill set for practicing science and mathematics teachers. However, technology education, as a less mature field of study, has less experience in developing and delivering research-based professional development practicing technology teachers. With the emerging alignment of technology education with engineering, the need for effective professional development models has become more critical. The goal of the National Symposium is to assemble a group of key stakeholders with specialized expertise in professional development from science, mathematics, engineering and technology to share expertise and explore models for standards-based professional development. Key goals of the symposium are to: (a) examine the applicability of existing teacher professional development models for engineering and technology education; and (b) develop a foundation for developing models for technology education professional development, based on contemporary pedagogy and androgogy.INTELLECTUAL MERIT: The National Symposium will be organized around carefully selected thematic sessions focused on specific aspects of professional development. Each session will begin with invited presentations of scholarly papers, followed by discussion to probe and clarify key ideas. A discussant will be designated to initiate the conversations and a session moderator will facilitate each session with a major goal of maintaining a focus on the development of models of professional development for engineering and technology. The ultimate goal of the presentations will be to produce: (a) a preliminary professional development framework for engineering and technology education; and (b) a set of issues to focus the agenda for subsequent model and framework development.BROADER IMPACTS: The National Symposium will produce a framework for engineering and technology education professional development based on a synthesis of the professional development literature and the expertise shared at the symposium. Following the symposium a public forum will be convened to share issues and models with the profession at large. In addition, the published proceedings of the National Symposium and a monograph, which will include a synthesis of the proceedings and the professional development models developed, will be disseminated through direct mail to key stakeholders.

全国研讨会的主要重点是为K-12工程和技术教师的专业发展开发基于研究的模型。科学和数学教育工作者使用有效的、以研究为基础的专业发展计划和材料来加强实践科学和数学教师的技能。然而，技术教育作为一个不太成熟的研究领域，在培养和输送研究型专业发展实践技术教师方面缺乏经验。随着技术教育与工程的结合，对有效的专业发展模式的需求变得更加关键。全国研讨会的目标是召集一群在科学、数学、工程和技术专业发展方面具有专业知识的关键利益相关者，分享专业知识并探索基于标准的专业发展模式。研讨会的主要目标是：(a)研究现有教师专业发展模式在工程技术教育中的适用性；(b)以当代教育学和男科学为基础，为技术教育专业发展模式的发展奠定基础。智力优势：全国研讨会将围绕精心挑选的主题会议组织，重点关注专业发展的具体方面。每次会议将以邀请学术论文的演讲开始，然后是探讨和澄清关键思想的讨论。一名讨论者将被指定发起对话，一名会议主持人将促进每个会议，其主要目标是保持对工程和技术专业发展模式发展的关注。讲座的最终目标将是产生：(a)工程和技术教育的初步专业发展框架；(b)为后续模型和框架开发提供一系列重点议题。更广泛的影响：全国研讨会将在综合专业发展文献和研讨会上分享的专业知识的基础上，为工程和技术教育专业发展制定一个框架。在研讨会之后，将召开一个公共论坛，与广大专业人士分享问题和模式。此外，将通过直接邮件向主要利益攸关方散发已出版的全国专题讨论会论文集和一本专题论文，其中将包括论文集的综合和所制订的专业发展模式。
