Dr. Clark Receives the
ITEA Distinguished Technology
Educator Award
March 30, 2009- Dr. Aaron Clark,
Associate Professor
in
Math, Science And Technology Education,
received the
International Technology Education Association's (ITEA)
Distinguished Technology Educator Award last week at the ITEA conference.
ITEA's Distinguished Technology Educator (DTE) designation is a coveted mark of distinction in technology education. It recognizes technology educators who have demonstrated a high level of competence and conscientiousness in the field of technology education.
ITEA created the Distinguished Technology Educator (DTE) program to provide a means for recognizing outstanding performance and accomplishments in the field of professional technology education. As one of the highest honors for professional achievement in technology education, the DTE designation recognizes the attainments of technology educators.
Consideration for the award is based upon documented evidence of leadership/management skills, continuing participation in association education programs, and demonstration of leadership in association, community, and personal activities.
The Distinguished Technology Educator program acknowledges the essential principles of adult learning. It incorporates into the process recognition and credit for work experiences and other accomplishments. The program recognizes those areas of technology education the DTE Board has determined to be most reflective of successful professional attainment. [Only 2% of the membership is considered for this very prestigious recognition.]
Congratulations to Dr. Clark on a well deserved honor and recognition.
