Web Posted on: November 20, 1998 CSUN 99 Papers Implementing a Statewide Assistive Technology Initiative: The Georgia Model P. Paulette Bragg Georgia Department of Education Clara J. Keith Georgia Department of Education Kim Hartsell Georgia Project for Assistive Technology Local school system personnel are responsible for developing and implementing assistive technology intervention programs for students with disabilities who require assistive technology in order to access the general education curriculum or to benefit from their special education programs. Unfortunately, many college and university programs do not offer coursework in assistive technology as a part of their teacher preparation programs and many educators begin their careers without the skills necessary to provide assistive technology services to students with disabilities. Subsequently, many state, regional, and local education agencies have developed assistive technology initiatives that offer professional development opportunities for teachers and related service providers. The mission of many of these programs is to improve instruction through increasing educator knowledge of assistive technology and to increase student achievement through enhancing access to appropriate assistive technology devices and services. The Georgia Department of Education, Division for Exceptional Students has developed an innovative statewide program to provide professional development and technical support services to local school system personnel in the area of assistive technology. This initiative which is known as the Georgia Project for Assistive Technology (GPAT) provides a range of technical support and professional development services to local school system personnel. A key focus of the project is collaboration with instructional technology initiatives within the state to promote equity of access to technology for students with disabilities and their teachers. In this session, key components of GPAT will be discussed. A major part of the session will be strategies for duplicating project services at the state, regional, and local levels.

dqmcodebase = "/" Maintaining the Faith in Teachers' Ability to Grow: An Interview with Asa Hilliard School leaders must believe that all teachers can learn, just as they encourage teachers to believe that all students can learn. by Dennis Sparks Journal of Staff Development , Spring 1997 (Vol. 18, No. 2) JSD: The National Commission on Teaching and America's Future's report, What Matters Most: Teaching and America's Future, argues that every teacher has the right to a competent teacher. If you were a superintendent of schools, what would you do to ensure, in a timely way, that there was a competent teacher in every classroom? Hilliard: I would borrow a strategy from Atlanta which grouped schools into three categories. One group was the high achievers. Supervision was withdrawn from them and given to the schools in the middle that were trying to become high achievers. The lowest performing schools became a high priority for the superintendent. In a very short time, some of the low performing schools began to experience fairly dramatic improvements in student achievement. The school was viewed as the unit to create the momentum to bring along the faculty. While that didn't solve the total problem of uneven instruction, a rigorous accountability system could be used, combined with support for individual teachers. If low performing teachers did not change, hard decisions would have to be made about whether they should continue.
