Massachusetts Department of Education
Funded through Title II-D of the No Child Left Behind Act, the Massachusetts Department of Education's Technology Enhancement Competitive grant program (fund code 170) supports school districts in the development of two-year sustainable projects that use technology to: (1) Improve student academic achievement; (2) Assist every student in becoming technologically literate; (3) Provide high quality professional development that uses research-based instructional strategies to integrate technology effectively into instruction; (4) Provide for assessment, data gathering, and analysis to inform and enhance teaching; and (5) Provide specialized or rigorous courses through online distance learning. The Department received 41 proposals for new projects to begin in the 2005-06 school year. Total requests exceeded $3.1 million. This paper provides an overview of the awards. The remainder of this report summarizes data gathered through year-end reports submitted by each 170 grantee using an online survey component of the Department's Massachusetts Online Network for Education (MassONE). FY 2006 Title II-D High Need School Districts is appended. (Contains 3 footnotes, 9 figures, and 5 tables.)
