  1. Taming the Beast Region 3 ESA Title II Part D Report Sylvia J Street August 4, 2011

  2. Abstract This proposal will provide the tools to teachers in participating schools that will enable them to tame the technology beast. The teachers will learn how to effectively incorporate technology and 21st Century skills into their curriculum and teaching practices. Beginning with the summer academy, teachers will have the opportunity to work with educational content specialists with expertise in technology integration. They will be given the opportunity to team with cohort groups and continue work in technology and 21st century skill integration through the school year. Mentors will work with the cohorts of teachers at the schools and at four professional development Saturdays during the year to assist in the development of that rich, relevant curriculum and the integration of technology. The Title II Part D application being developed for the partner schools in ESA 3 and Mid Central Educational Cooperative (MCEC) and the DIAL consortium schoolswill target innovative ways to integrate technology and the 21st Century Skills into school curriculum.
