Wednesday, September 9, 2009 ARRA Grant Begins
As a response to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, two school districts in the St Louis area are participating in a grant written by the VLC staff of CSD. Ten social studies teachers from Ferguson Florissant and Ritenour school districts are receiving 42 hours of professional development, as well as technology equipment to enhance their teaching. The teachers will be creating digital stories with Bernajean Porter. Teachers will learn methods to evaluate their digital media and then teach their students to create similar digital media projects in their classrooms. Participants will also spend a day with Lynne Lang from BJC’s Outreach Center learning about the “Forgiveness Factor”. During the grant, teachers will be evaluated using the MSIP classroom observation form that includes the Grappling’s Spectrum of Technology & Learning. Teachers will also be able to attend one day of the Midwest Education Technology Conference in February. The first session was last week and will continue until May of 2010.
