Welcome to the TCI Leadership Program

What is TCI-LP?

The Technology & Curriculum Integration Leadership Program is a year-long series of events designed to help Massachusetts educators play leadership roles in their district's 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.

The Mission

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.
• Building a technology infrastructure and integrating the use of technology into regular classroom practice.

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.

The Program

The 2001-2002 TCI-4 program began with a five-day Summer Institute held at the University of Massachusetts Hoagland-Pincus Conference Center in Shrewsbury from July 9 - July 13, 2001. Each team left the Institute with an action plan to focus and guide their activities in the coming school year. TCI provides sustained support over the full year: The Summer Institute is complemented by three additional full-day conferences, regional events, on-line resources, and the right to ask for help from a set of experienced consultants.

We're Funded By...

The Technology and Curriculum Integration Leadership Program is an initiative of Mass Networks Education Partnership. In its first years the program was supported by funding from The AT&T Foundation, Quantum Corporation and the Massachusetts Department of Education, in addition to participant fees. The expiration of the AT&T and Quantum grants has necessitated an increase in the still reasonable amount charged to participating districts.
