In addition to The Road Ahead team members, a core group of teachers is training on the new equipment and developing a base level of expertise for the school. Goals Use multimedia to enhance communications within and beyond the school. Increase access to technology. The main results of the Sedalia program were large increases in the use of presentation technology in the school and in staff and student technology skills. A month-long technology course that team members conducted at a nearby high school also included members from the community.
Teachers maintain personal technology plans to chart their progress and goals.
The Road Ahead has also increased parent involvement in field trips and training activities. Although the after-school program only enrolls a small number of students, the team claims that all students and staff have been affected by the technology and training. Thus the team expects to continue its present program without major changes in the year following the grant. All rights reserved.
