Planning a Mid-Atlantic Center for Teaching and Learning/ (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics by Design)

技术教育学习和教学中心将为教育教师和教师教育工作者提供一个重点，这些教师和教育工作者可以执行最近编制的《技术素养标准》以及美国科学促进会基准和国家科学教育标准中所述的技术教育理念。这项计划拨款是为科技教师教育界和科研界在科技教育方面的合作而设。该规划确定了科学技术教育研究生教育的结构，制定了研究学生如何学习技术概念以及如何利用信息在课堂上实施技术教育理念的议程，并制定了技术教师教育课程。

A Center for Learning and Teaching in Technology Education would provide a focus for educating teachers and teacher educators who could implement the ideas of technology education as described in the recently produced Standards for Technological Literacy, as well as in the AAAS Benchmarks and the National Science Education Standards. This planning grant is for the collaboration of the technology teacher education community and research communities in science and technology education. The planning determines a structure for graduate education in science and technology education, creates an agenda for research into how students learn technological concepts and how to use the information to implement the ideas of technological education in classrooms, and develops a technology teacher education curriculum.
