Incentives pay off in technological literacy.
In Educational Leadership, 54-56. Reviewed by Amy Holcombe. The Carroll Independent School District in Southlake, Texas, identified a need for teachers and other staff members to be more technologically educated. In researching the subject of technological literacy, the district found that students' standardized test scores are more closely correlated to the teachers' academic ability than to any other teacher characteristic. Therefore, they wanted to design a program in which staff demonstrated their proficiency in using technology, not just by the number of hours of inservice or other training.
