The El Paso Collaborative for Academic Excellence, UTEP Teacher Education and Region 19 are members of the El Paso Partnership for Technology Integration, a U.S. Department of Education funded project. The overarching goal that drives our efforts   is to transform the ways in which educators use technology to support high quality curriculum and accelerate learning so that all students attain high levels of academic achievement.

The Staff development for Teacher Teams  is focused on the training of instructional leaders in technology and Transforming the ways in which current teachers use technology to support high quality curriculum and accelerate learning—through school team training.

Under the grant, five Technology Teacher Leaders at each participating school receive at least 120 hours of training focused on the integration of technology with high quality instruction, and on their roles as instructional leaders at their respective campus. State and national standards in content areas and technology, keys to effective coaching and professional development of mentees at their schools, and the varied and effective use of technology inform the content of their training.  With this background, Technology Leaders are better prepared to assume responsibility for supporting their schools to better integrate technology into instructional content, to support professional collaboration and improved teaching practice, and to facilitate productivity.
