What Is The Technology Rich Classrooms Project? The purpose of the Technology Rich Classrooms Project is to provide
evidence that the immersion of technologies into the learning environment,
which is supported by strong, ongoing professional development, can
produce positive change in the classroom that results in improved student
learning. The goal is to bring about change- change in the way teachers
teach, change in the way students learn, and change in the way learning is
assessed.
TRC in Garden City
In 2004, four classrooms in our district became part of the state TRC
project. Based on the measurable student success in those four
classrooms, Garden City Public Schools is replicating the project
within the district. Six classrooms were added in 2006-2007 and
an additional 10 are being added in 2007-2008.
Garden City received a
second TRC grant for four classrooms in two schools for the
2007-2008 school year. The two schools participating were Gertrude
Walker and Jennie Wilson Elementary Schools.
Garden City is
once again participating in the TRC project for the 2008-2009 school year.
The two schools participating are Victor Ornelas and Alta Brown
Elementary Schools.
