Status:
Approve the partnership agreement to deliver the Digital Education Teacher Academy to SBBC teachers and administrators.
This partnership agreement covers tuition for Broward educators in the Digital Education Teacher Academy. The agreement allows SBBC and FAU to continue to provide technology staff development in the integration of technology into classroom practice. The attached agreement will extend the summer program through the next school year. This will cover tuition for approximately 700 teachers and 100 administrators from July 2003 to June 2004. The course schedule covering the agreement is attached. The tuition cost is $520 per student up to a maximum of $416,000. This represents a 20% tuition discount rate. As an incentive, participants will receive three graduate credits from FAU. The project is a continuation of the program that began during the summer of 2002 and will continue to have an outside evaluation in order to assess the impact of the DETA project on teaching and learning in SBBC. This program is aligned with "No Child Left Behind" requirements that state that by 2006 every eighth grade student, teacher and administrator must be technology literate. The agreement has been approved as to form by the School Board Attorney.
The financial impact to the school district shall not exceed $416,000 and is currently budgeted (see exhibit). There is no additional cost to the school district.
