Career Curriculum for Technology Project (CCfT)

该材料开发项目包括三所社区学院和两个NSF-ATE中心作为合作伙伴。四所高中正在对这些材料进行实地测试。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，包括一本包含内容和学生活动的教科书，内容和学生活动由技术素养标准在三个内容领域推动：物理技术、信息技术和生活世界中的技术。教材以按设计理解(逆向设计)和国家标准为基础，实行探究式、工程化设计、实践性学习。项目成果包括：1.为期一年的高中技术课程，包括课本和学生练习册；2.教师支持材料；3.课文中嵌入的职业发展材料；4.媒体丰富的项目网站；以及5.一个跨课程的综合快餐设施设计活动，将物理、信息和生活世界的技术内容联系起来。这些材料正在通过在线来源传播，并由汤姆森·德尔马学习公司出版。格兰特·威金斯是该项目的材料设计顾问。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参加了开发团队。

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.
