No LIMIT!
Title II, Part D, Enhancing Education Through Technology (2005-06)
2005-06 NO LIMIT/EETT Leadership Contacts
Program Description: Enhancing Education Through Technology consolidates
the Technology Literacy Challenge Fund and Technology Innovation Challenge
Grant Programs into a single State formula grant program to provide
assistance to the State and localities for the implementation and support
of a comprehensive system that effectively uses technology in elementary
schools and secondary schools to improve student academic achievement.
Competitive Grant Funding: Here are the Enhancing Education Through
Technology competitive grant awards for 2005-06. It is anticipated
that these will be two-year projects, pending second-year federal funding
for Title II, Part D. Listed below are the three project options:
Option A: NO LIMIT! Project
The overarching goal of the NO LIMIT! Project is to develop classroom
models where students in grades 5-9 are engaged in activities that
lead to a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and improvement
in mathematics achievement. This will be accomplished through the
development of professional learning communities at the building
level that focus on effective mathematics instruction and integration
of appropriate technology. Participating school districts will be
expected to support the development and operation of a professional
learning community with the expectation that it remains in place
beyond the duration of the project.
Option B: NO LIMIT! Project - Network Learning Communities (NLC)
Option B includes working with teams of teachers in grades 5-9 to improve
teaching practices in mathematics using technological tools and other
research-based methodologies. Much of the instruction and professional
development will be delivered online, after initial face-to-face
meetings. Authentic activities using eCoach, an online classroom
tool, will be provided to a cadre of math teachers in the building.
Option C: Technology and Learning Disabilities (TLD) Project
This project includes working with 6th through 12th grade special education
teachers to improve teaching practices in reading, writing, and mathematics
using assistive technologies. This project is directed by the Special
Education Technology Center (SETC) at Central Washington University.
