Technology for All Americans

Abstract

As this issue of the JTE goes to press, Phase I of the International Technology Education Association’s “Technology for All Americans” (TAA) project is just getting underway. With support from the National Science Foundation and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the project represents a unique opportunity for our profession to broadly communicate the belief that every student should have the benefit of some formal education about our technological world. This is our profession’s best singular opportunity to carry that message to the educational establishment and to share with them the relevant ideas and models we’ve developed since Warner (1947) first proposed a “A Curriculum to Reflect Technology” nearly half a century ago.
