Much is at stake for students—

and society

Teachers need to ensure students are college-and career-ready:

HIGHER ORDER THINKING

USE OF TECHNOLOGY FOR NEW MODES OF COMMUNICATION,

COLLABORATION, AND CREATION

PROBLEM SOLVING

KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY

Teacher professional development is key

Teacher effectiveness is the most important factor driving STUDENT ACADEMIC GROWTH.1

Research has shown...

What distinguishes HIGH-PERFORMING SCHOOLS is effective collaborative professional development for teachers.2

Intensive ongoing teacher professional development leads to an INCREASE IN STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.2

Teachers with 49 hours of professional development can boost student results by 20%.3

The role of technology in learning

Technology is recognized as an essential tool for meetingthe needs of today’s knowledge economy.

The National Educational Technology Standards from the INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION emphasize technology integration throughout all content areas.

THE PARTNERSHIP FOR 21ST CENTURY SKILLS and the AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL LIBRARIANS have put forth standards of 21st century literacy that emphasize technology integration.

Approximately 80% OF U.S. STATES have developed teaching standards that include technology.4

According to a NATIONAL CENTER FOR EDUCATION STATISTICS study, only 23% of teachers feel prepared to integrate technology into their instruction.5

Integrating technology in the classroom

Formal professional development is critical.

INADEQUATE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT is a significant barrier to successful technology integration in schools.6

IT TAKES 5-6 YEARS for teachers to master technology integration.6

INFORMAL OR GENERAL TRAINING has little effect on teachers’ use of technology.6

When coached through implementation,95% of teachers develop the needed skills. 7

Technology integration benefits for teachers

New educational software and hardware can mean:

IMPROVED classroom management

PERSONALIZED learning

NEW WAYS AND MODES to reach different types of learners

NEW MEANS for assessing student understanding

IMPROVED student test scores

NEW WAYS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE to parents, communities, and students

MAXIMIZED educational resources and impact

Technology integration benefits for students

TECHNOLOGY TRAINED TEACHERS

SIGNIFICANT ACADEMIC GAINS

for students in all subject areas8

INCREASED ACHIEVEMENT in primary through secondary

school for both regular and special-needs students9

IMPROVED ATTITUDES toward learning9

INCREASED SELF-ESTEEM9
