Evaluation Outcomes

Technology Changes Teaching
Enhanced Anchored Instruction Enhances Teaching
Project Based Learning Enhances Teaching
Teachers Disseminated the Grant Project
The grant was also successful in terms of teachers disseminating grant information to others. In Year 1, 91% of the teachers disseminated information and in Year 2, 100% disseminated information to others. In both years the audiences were diverse including parents, teachers, and administrators. More interest was generated for the grant in Year 2 because participating teachers regularly invited teachers and administrators to observe their classes when they were using the grant technology. As a result 1 administrator wanted other staff at the school to have the grant technology and at another school an administrator wanted the Enhanced Anchored Instruction projects for an after school program. When teachers are able to show the high quality work they are accomplishing when using the grant technology the likelihood of sustainability for these types of grants are increased.
