Through my work as a Senior Mentor, I've aligned FRC and FLL to both PA and DE ecudation standards. Both departments of education have been receptive and some local districts are using the document to support their team and curriculum efforts. If you are interested in either of these dicuments for reference, please let me know. I'm also looking for educators in other states will to take on the same task so we might engage more state departments of education.
As a teacher, we've implemented an "Innovation and Invention" course for 2006-07. The couse comes from "TEAP" and we added Vex and a FIRSTlike game into the mix because it just works well and is cost effective.
See this page at the TEAP website:

and attached is the "Phase II" part of our course proposal that our school board at Lower Merion approved. Now that it's approved the details are being written.
