In the Louisiana adaptation of this professional development model, Louisiana's Content Standards are the basis for all technology-connected lessons and lesson planning activities. Additionally, the Information Literacy Model for Lifelong Learning, another component of all Content Standards, reinforces the ways in which technology can support students and teachers in the quest to become independent, life long learners. One cycle consists of seven days of training.
Initial training takes place over five days.
After planning and implementing technology-connected lessons in their own classrooms, each school team returns for two days of additional training. The project is based on the Georgia Framework for INtegrating TECHnology in the Student-Centered Classroom. This project is supported by funding from the National Technology Literacy Challenge Grant.
