TEAC was first created in 1981 to gain advice from experts outside of the immediate field to: • Recommend ways of resolving any discrepancies between the programs and philosophies of teaching education and current industrial/technological practices. • Recommend content direction to improve the relevance of technology education. • Suggest methods of improving the public’s perception and understanding of technology education. • Assist in the cooperation between industry and education to improve the education process. The ITEA Board of Directors participated in this daylong meeting and later used the discussions to formulate directions and support decision making during the Board meeting that immediately followed. Current TEAC members include Betty Shanahan (Society of Women Engineers), Elizabeth Strickland (National Science Board), Andrea Prejean (National Education Association), Rodger Bybee (Biological Sciences Curriculum Studies), Michael K. Daugherty (University of Arkansas), Gregory Keenan (Virent Energy Systems), Tom Pachera (Ann Arbor Michigan Public Schools), Mellissa Morrow (Sarasota Florida County Schools), Michael Mayo (WGBH-Boston), Michael Madison (Ann Arbor Michigan Public Schools), and Michael Stief (Intelligencer Printing Company).
