Minnesota Technology and Engineering Educators Association (MTEEA) is the professional organization of technology education, engineering and industrial technology teachers in Minnesota; an affiliate of the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA). Membership averages about 250 teachers. Though membership (1 year is $40 or 3 years for $100) is open to K-12 and post-secondary teachers (as well as non-educators), the majority of members are from secondary and post-secondary schools (US grades 6 through 12 and technical, community or 4 year colleges). MTEEA was renamed from MTEA (Minnesota Technology Education Association) and prior to that it was MIAA (the Minnesota Industrial Arts Association).

MTEEA dates back to 1956 and has a constitution that outlines the structure of the association. This structure consists of an administrative board (president, president-elect, secretary, treasurer and executive director) and an executive council that includes those positions mentioned as well as representatives from the local affiliate organizations, post-secondary teacher education institutions and committee chairs.

MTEEA hosts an annual state conference typically held in St. Cloud, Minnesota on the last weekend in September. The organization website is: www.mteea.net

The goals of the MTEEA are to promote quality technology, engineering and industrial technology programs in schools; provide staff development for teachers of technology and engineering; promote policies that support technology and engineering education programs; and provide Minnesota students with the best technology and engineering --Mike Lindstrom (talk) 21:28, 12 December 2013 (UTC)education experiences possible. --Mike Lindstrom (talk) 21:28, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY TEACHING?

"Technology is how people modify the natural world to suit their own purposes... generally it refers to the diverse collection of processes and knowledge that people use to extend human abilities and to satisfy human needs and wants." (Excerpt from Standards for Technological Literacy: Content for the Study of Technology, ITEA, 2000) What is Technological Literacy? The ability to use, manage, understand, and assess technology. What is Technology Education? A study of technology, which provides an opportunity for students to learn about the processes and knowledge related to technology that are needed to solve problems and extend human capabilities. What do Technology Teachers Teach? Technology teachers teach a curriculum called "technology education," which is problem-based learning utilizing math, science, and technology principles. Technological studies involve students: Designing, developing, and utilizing technological systems such as communication, transportation, manufacturing, and construction technologies Performing open-ended, problem-based design activities Learning cognitive, manipulative, and affective learning strategies Applying technological knowledge and processes to real world experiences using up-to-date resources Working individually as well as in a team to solve problems Where do Technology Teachers Work? Technology is taught in grades K-12. In grades 6-12 technology is taught as a subject by certified technology teachers. In grades K-5 teachers may incorporate technology concepts into other subjects. Read Teacher Chronicles for an insightful look into the life of a technology teacher. http://www.iteaconnect.org/Resources/whatistechteaching.htm
