Mary Ann Wolf: The Importance of Teacher Professional Development
Earlier this month, the Senate introduced their bill to reauthorize the Enhancing Education Through Technology Act of 2001 -- The Achievement Through Technology and Innovation Act (ATTAIN). ATTAIN builds upon the successful education technology programs that began with No Child Left Behind and focuses more on systemic school redesign through the innovative use of technology. I am pleased to see that there is an increased focus on teachers and funding for sustainable and ongoing professional development.

A stand-alone workshop has less than a 5% chance of actually changing teacher practice in the classroom. However, if you add on-going and embedded professional development, provide professional learning communities where teachers interact with their colleagues, and ensure on-going support from coaches and administrative staff, the chance of really affecting teaching and learning increases dramatically -- to nearly 90%

ronically, our schools, where the next generation of workers will be taught to learn and work, are dead last among all industries in using technology effectively. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act recognizes that technology in our schools can be a powerful accelerator of change by spurring innovation, creating jobs, and giving our children the opportunity to gain the knowledge and skills that will allow them to take their place in the world economy as winners, not runners-up.

Stimulus Funds for Educational Technology
For the first time in many years, regular Title IID funding under NCLB was not eliminated in the President's budget. It has been made clear that with the stimulus funding, there is a need to clearly demonstrate that federal Ed Tech funding is making a difference. Across the US, states are collaborating on focusing the stimulus funding on 21st Century technology rich classrooms and professional development. The end goal is to have students who have attained 21st Century Skills, teachers have access to 21st Century professional development and the effective instructional strategies for engaging students using educational technology. There is an expectation that we are more targeted programs with targeted professional development that changes the way that teachers teach and students learn.

Obama Budget Reduces Federal Ed Tech Support
President's 2010 budget plan would REDUCE EDTECH FUNDING by 63 percent--after $650 million in ed-tech stimulus funds. Funding for EETT has declined fairly consistently over the years, from $696 million in 2004 down to its current level of $267.5 million in FY 2008. In 2009, it was up slightly to $269.9. And then, in the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA, also known as the "stimulus package"), it received an infusion of $650 million on top of existing funding. It seemed, then, that EETT would be fairly safe under the Obama administration's patronage. So it has come as a surprise to some to see the proposed reduction to EETT in the $47.6 billion education budget proposal, released publicly Thursday.
