Unfortunately, students in many schools can still graduate, having had no practical contact with engineering concepts of case studies. One major problem of secondary education is that schools teach science, technology, and mathematics only in the context of the specific disciplines. Although many students may not become engineers, they do need problem-solving skills for life in the technologically complex twenty-first century. This guide presents content and activities in a cornerstone technology education model course for the high school. The information contained in this guide, will assist teachers in preparing to implement Standards for Technological Literacy (STL). In addition it can be used by state, provincial, and local curriculum developers in creating a standards based curriculum. Following the Preface, the guide is divided into 3 chapters. Chapter 1, Scope and Sequence, addresses the high school learner and scope of a standards-based high school curriculum, an overview of methods described in this guide, and appropriate strategies for assessing students. Chapter 2, Units of Instruction, features the units of instruction for this course. Each unit presents standards-based content for students in Grades 9-12. The unit framework consists of an overview, enduring results, teacher preparation, unit content, suggested learning activities, assessment, and resources. Chapter 3, Appendix, contains descriptions of resources, materials, and references that teachers may obtain as they develop curriculum and instructional materials. Teachers, curriculum developers, and other interested readers are encouraged to review this guide in its entirety. The content across the chapters and instructional units collectively contribute to quality instruction that addresses the standards.
