ExplorNet s ENTech Centers will establish a statewide, consistent professional development model to help teachers appropriately integrate curriculum with technology in the classroom. This model, known as the BEST model, blends educational strategies with technology. The program is student-centered and uses the teacher as a facilitator.
Technology is used as a tool in the learning process.
The BEST model approach incorporates best practices and meets all state education requirements. The critical components of the model are curriculum integration, classroom management, best teaching practices, new designs for learning, and embracing modern technology. The first phase of training will be for elementary teams. In order to participate, you must be a member of a school team and complete a team application. The ENTech Center will offer two methods of delivery.
