Career Curriculum for Technology Project (CCfT)

该材料开发项目包括三个社区学院和两个NSF-ATE中心作为合作伙伴。四所高中正在实地测试这些材料。该项目正在为高中设计、试点测试和传播一门为期一年的技术课程，其中包括一本教科书，其内容和学生活动由《技术素养标准》驱动，涵盖三个内容领域：物理技术、信息技术和现实世界中的技术。教材以“通过设计理解”（逆向设计）和国家标准为基础，实行探究、工程设计和实践学习。项目可交付成果包括：1；1 .一年的高中技术课程，有课本和学生练习册；2 .教师支持材料；3 .嵌入文本的职业发展材料；富媒体项目网站；and5。一个跨学科的综合快餐设施设计活动，将物理，信息和生活世界技术的内容语境化。这些材料通过在线资源传播，并由Thomson Delmar Learning出版。Grant Wiggins是这个材料设计项目的顾问。已经对这些材料进行了需求评估，这为项目提供了支持。行业专业人士和高中教师正在参与开发团队。

This materials development project includes three community colleges and two NSF-ATE Centers as partners. Four high schools are field-testing the materials. The project is designing, pilot testing, and disseminating a year-long technology course for high schools, including a textbook with content and student activities driven by the Standards for Technological Literacy in three content areas: physical technology, information technology, and technology in the living world. The materials are based on Understanding by Design (backwards design) and national standards, and implement inquiry, engineering design, and hands-on learning. The project deliverables include: 1. A year-long high school technology course with a text and student workbook;2. Teacher support materials;3. Career development materials embedded within the text;4. A media-rich Project website; and5. A cross-curricular integrative Fast Food facility design activity that contextualizes content in physical, information, and living world technology. The materials are being disseminated through online sources and published by Thomson Delmar Learning. Grant Wiggins is a consultant to the project for materials design. A needs assessment for these materials has been done, which provides support for the project. Industry professionals and high school teachers are participating in the development teams.
