  • A stand-alone workshop has less than a 5% chance of actually changing teacher practice in the classroom. However, if you add on-going and embedded professional development, provide professional learning communities where teachers interact with their colleagues, and ensure on-going support from coaches and administrative staff, the chance of really affecting teaching and learning increases dramatically -- to nearly 90%
  • y using online resource hubs and other tools for collaboration, i.e. blogs and discussion boards, and including virtual or in-school coaching and mentoring, schools, districts, and states are beginning to see gains in teaching quality and student achievement. The greatest successes are seen with professional development that includes high-quality content, is tailored to the needs of students, takes advantage of the assets of technology, and is embedded in professional learning communities to enable teachers to actively participate.

    Earlier this month, the Senate introduced their bill to reauthorize the Enhancing Education Through Technology Act of 2001 -- The Achievement Through Technology and Innovation Act (ATTAIN). ATTAIN builds upon the successful education technology programs that began with No Child Left Behind and focuses more on systemic school redesign through the innovative use of technology. I am pleased to see that there is an increased focus on teachers and funding for sustainable and ongoing professional development.

    For the first time in many years, regular Title IID funding under NCLB was not eliminated in the President's budget. It has been made clear that with the stimulus funding, there is a need to clearly demonstrate that federal Ed Tech funding is making a difference. Across the US, states are collaborating on focusing the stimulus funding on 21st Century technology rich classrooms and professional development. The end goal is to have students who have attained 21st Century Skills, teachers have access to 21st Century professional development and the effective instructional strategies for engaging students using educational technology. There is an expectation that we are more targeted programs with targeted professional development that changes the way that teachers teach and students learn.
