The Ready
to Teach project will require faculty participants
not only to develop individual competencies but also to integrate
technology in their courses and to engage in collaborative curriculum
work with partner school teachers. GPT faculty and their A&S counterparts
will participate in design teams with K-12 cooperating teachers and
preservice teachers to revise and improve teacher-selected instructional
units with technology resources and content enrichment. A design team
facilitator experienced in work with university and school faculties
will convene the teams, oversee the progress of their work, and access
resources on their behalf. The Curriculum Library Alignment and Sharing
Project (CLASP)
will provide a standards-based framework for the curriculum design
process. Technology-enhanced units can be disseminated through Mass
Networks CLASP software repository. Ready
to Teach project staff will support the design teams
with multimedia, electronic library, video production, hardware and
software resources.
