Preparing a technology and engineering (TE) teacher who strives for teaching excellence is a fundamental mission of TE teacher education programs in the United States. In 2012, the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA, formerly the International Technology Education Association, ITEA) Council on Technology and Engineering Teacher Education (CTETE, formerly the Council on Technology Teacher Education) Teacher Preparation and Revitalization Committee was tasked to identify the characteristics of a TE teacher striving for excellence. To this end, the committee conducted a Delphi study with the purpose of identifying basic competencies that a pre-service teacher striving for excellence would have upon successfully completing a TE teacher preparation program. This competency profile could assist teacher educators as they evaluate and revise their teacher preparation programs.
