ISTE Standards
ITEEA Standards
Formerly ITEA, the ITEEA Standards provide national standards to technology education classes. As technology education classes are about as diverse from district to district and state to state, than any other subject; the standards and benchmarks provide guided information. This publication divides the standards by grade level and by technology topic. Here is part of the foreword from the publication. "We are a nation increasingly dependent on technology. Yet, in spite of this dependence, US society is largely ignorant of the history and fundamental nature of the technology that sustains it."
