At the conclusion of the day, incentives are awarded and a lottery is held. The institutes focus on developing skills and gaining knowledge to effectively integrate technology into the learning environment and assist with administrative decisions. As required by the Gates Foundation, the institutes are based on the Milken's Seven Dimensions of Progress. For example, one of the institutes addresses technology capacity in light of the recent school construction program, including planning, connectivity, high-speed access and equipment needs. Content will be provided by experts in facilities infrastructure.
Additional partners continue to offer their facilities and trainers for the institute sessions.
The web site will also have an electronic registration system. Because the Gates Foundation requires a fiscal commitment, there is a fee for the institutes and the full-day culminating seminar. The Gates Foundation requires that an incentive be offered to superintendents and principals. The award will be given at the culminating seminar. Because of the high quality and valuable content of the institutes, participants are encouraged to attend all seven for optimal benefits.
