The Finest in Professional Development: Engineering byDesign[TM] (EbD[TM]) Curriculum Specialists--Helping Hands for Improving Student Achievement!
Burke, Barry N.; Meade, Shelli D.
Technology Teacher, v66 n6 p23-27 Mar 2007
How can the teachers of today raise student achievement and prepare students to become the next generation of technologists, innovators, designers, and engineers? This article introduces new opportunities for professional development: a cadre of education professionals who are trained to deliver professional development for states, districts, and schools. These are trained professionals who have volunteered to work with other teachers, supervisors, and teacher educators to make standards-based curriculum delivery a reality across the U.S. These individuals were also trained in standards-based curriculum development and implementation and well versed in Engineering byDesign[TM] curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Engineering byDesign (EbD[TM]) is a standards-based K-12 solution for technology programs. It is a comprehensive model that integrates science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through comprehensive, articulated coursework. Within each component of the program are course guides with integrated rubrics and assessments. The program is linked to professional development and resources via an electronic delivery platform known as eTIDEonline[TM]. Curricular offerings include courses and units of instruction that have been mapped to Career Clusters and Pathways. EbD[TM] is the only comprehensive standards-based curricular model designed to deliver technological literacy.
