Promoting Use of Technology in the Schools: An Organizational Analysis of California's Teacher Education and Computer Centers. CREATE Monograph Series.
Rossi, Robert; And Others
Sixth and last in a monograph series on the use of computer technology in the instruction of learning disabled students, this paper analyzes the California Teacher Education and Computer Centers (TECC) program. Five themes influencing the TECC program are identified for discussion: staff development, teacher incentives, local policymaking authority, regional networking, and cooperative planning. Technology as a high-demand area for staff development in various computer skills areas and as a motivational device for staff development in other, more traditional areas is also discussed. Finally, the paper cites implications of the TECC program for the use of computers in schools. Appendices, which comprise the bulk of the document, consists of the Introduction and Executive Summary from the Report on the 1983-84 Evaluation of the Teacher Education and Computer Centers, published in 1985 by the California Department of Education, a transcript of the authorizing legislation for the TECC, and a paper on the TECC's organizational relationships.
