Many undergraduate teacher education programs still treat technology as an elective, instead of an integral and inseparable part of the curriculum. So when "T.H.E. Journal" set out to find the best program for training tomorrow's teachers, it found one at a K-12 school district in Kansas. The Blue Valley School District in Overland Park, Kansas, created its Center for Advanced Professional Studies in 2009 to meet a need for project-based, hands-on education for tomorrow's workforce. The school district's teacher training program models pedagogy and technology for tomorrow's teacher's while they are today's high school students.
