Project MEET especially emphasizes the importance of standards-based education, grounding all instruction in the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. The technology focus of the Project is online technology, clearly framed as an effective tool for interdisciplinary project- based learning. In order to be responsive to the needs of diverse learners, particular attention is given to issues of universal design and assistive technology. Research and evaluation are an essential part of the Project. The purpose of the research component is to assess the progress of the Project, then report back to stakeholders so that they may make adjustments to render the Project more effective.
Progress is quantified and qualified in five research and developmental sites.
The success of Project MEET is essential to reaching the state's goals of technology professional development. Project MEET is a fundamental part of that commitment.
