Partner Schools

A diverse group Massachusetts’ public schools are collaborating on the PT3 grant with Boston University. These K-12 schools benefit directly from their involvement with student teachers that receive grant-sponsored training in educational technology, from support in resource development for technology and curriculum integration, and from training their own faculty and staff receive in supporting teaching and learning with technology. These relationships multiply the effect of the grant program by disseminating the serious work of improving teaching and learning with technology generated by the grant consortia.Our partner schools also contribute to the grant through making presentations to our faculty on many aspects of current and planned use of technology in their schools. They inform us on their school's existing practice in technology and curriculum integration, their facilities and infrastructure, existing personnel, especially technology integration specialists, any criteria for the use of technology by teachers or support personnel for hiring and/or promotion, and the kinds of software being used among other topics. They also report back to the teachers and administration of their home school or district on the activities and use of technology presented as part of the training in the BU-PT3 grant.
