The Technology & Curriculum Integration
Leadership Program is a year-long series of events designed
to help Massachusetts educators play leadership roles in their
districts' efforts to use instructional technology to meet
the expectations of the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks.
Teams from districts across the state come together to both
learn from each other and create statewide momentum for change
that is larger than their individual efforts.
School districts throughout Massachusetts
are faced with many challenges. These challenges include:
Revising curriculum to address the content
standards and pedagogy of the Curriculum
Frameworks.
Integrating the use of technology into
regular classroom practice.
Creating the policies, infrastructure
and support systems necessary to ensure the successful achievement
of district and school educational goals.
Instructional technology is a powerful curricular
tool that can significantly increase student involvement and
achievement. This program is designed to help district teams
play leadership roles in their districts' efforts to make
optimal use of education technology in the context of addressing
the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks.
The program aims to have a statewide impact
through the documentation and sharing of effective strategies
and successful experiences. This communication, collaboration,
and information sharing will take place both at person-to-person
meetings and via various online activities.
