Tech. Ed. Teacher Recruitment
To those of you who are technology educators, ask yourself, who or what inspired you to become a technology education teacher? It is safe to say the large majority of you would respond it was your technology education or industrial arts teacher. For those of you visiting this page to help make your decision on a career path, consider a similar question. Who inspired you to seek information on this great profession?
As a profession we have the opportunity to have a major impact on our students futures! In our day to day activities, we introduce students to experiences that could one day lead them to accomplish their most extra hopes and dreams both inside and outside of the workforce. Like many other education professions we have the ability to help students set high goals and expectations for the future, and then provide them the means by which to accomplish those goals.
Consider visiting and/or joining our TEAP-Connections E-Mentoring website where you can ask questions and seek advice from a number of technology educators from across the state who have volunteered their time to mentor new and future technology educators!
Also, please read "Technology Education Teacher Demand, 2002-2005" an article prepared by Hassan B. Ndahi and John M. Ritz, DTE concerning the growth of the field.
