Technological Literacy for All: A Rationale and Structure for the Study of Technology - International Technology Education Association
This is a major rewrite of Technology for All Americans: enhances and updates the original edition considerably. It provides much more explanation of what technology and technological literacy are as well as why everyone needs to be technologically literate. This edition provides a logical transition from the 10 universals (processes, knowledge, and contexts) generated in the first edition into the 20 standards found.

Foundations of Technology, Second Edition - A Standards-Based High School Model Course Guide - International Technology Education Association
This guide will provide a model for a beginning high school course that prepares students to understand and apply cornerstone technological concepts and processes. It includes standards that are being addressed, enduring understandings/concepts, lessons that include hands-on problems, and unit, lesson and end-of-course rubrics. Group and individual lessons engage students in creating ideas, developing innovations, and engineering practical solutions. Technology content, resources, and laboratory activities include mathematics and science concepts, and are integrated into the lessons and rubrics.

Engineering Design, Second Edition - A Standards-Based High School Model Course Guide - International Technology Education Association
This guide provides a model for a standards-based capstone high school course that prepares students to understand and apply engineering and design concepts. Engineering scope, content, and professional practices are presented through practical applications. It includes standards/benchmarks that are being taught, guiding principles, big Ideas/concepts, units with lessons that include hands-on problems, and assessments at the course (pre and post tests), unit, and lesson levels. Mathematics and science concepts are integrated into all content, lessons and rubrics. Students in engineering teams apply technology, science, and mathematics concepts and skills to solve engineering design problems and innovate designs. Students research, develop, test, and analyze engineering designs using criteria such as design effectiveness, public safety, human factors, and ethics. This course is the capstone experience for students who are interested in technology, innovation, design and engineering.

Teaching Technology: High School – International Technology Education Association
Contemporary methods and activities for standards-based instruction in high school for technological literacy. High school teachers will be able to expand their instructional toolbox with contemporary methods and teacher-tested activities that are aligned with Technological Literacy Standards. A Resource section recommends classroom materials that support high school content and activities. This guide is essential for implementing standards-based technology education instruction in high schools.

Technological Issues, A Standards-Based High School Model Course Guide – International Technology Education Association
The study of technological issues allows students to develop skills in asking critical questions as well as understanding alternative viewpoints and their origins, and gives students the confidence to be involved in deciding which technologies to develop, which to use, and how to use them.

NASA STEM Design Challenge High School Unit: - Lunar Growth Chamber
This challenge is for high school students and revolves around a lunar plant growth chamber to help supplement the diet of astronauts while living and working on the moon, as well as provide a sense of “home. The Design Challenge includes lessons, student and teacher resources, assessments, and materials lists. This unit integrates with the ITEA model program for technological literacy known as Engineering by Design.
