Book excerpt: The Tomas Rivera Policy Institute conducted research to clarify the state of technology development in schools in San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties, California and to determine whether meaningful technology access was out of reach for those school districts in which the enrollment was predominantly Hispanic. The empirical investigation, with surveys completed by 54 principals and 123 teachers and interviews with 12 administrators, and case study site visits show that instructional technology is currently beyond the grasp of many Hispanic youth enrolled in California's public K-12 schools. In the school districts studied, the student-to-computer ratio of 14 students for every 1 computer was not significantly different from the state as a whole. However, Hispanic districts were significantly less likely than non-Hispanic districts to receive assistance from school administrators when it came to supporting technology development, in part because the administrators in Hispanic districts perceived many issues to be more significant. Teachers in the Hispanic districts were also more concerned with security and more likely to reduce student access to computers. The research concludes that students lack the tools to compete in today's marketplace, since a working knowledge of information technology is necessary for the majority of new jobs. Aspects of technology development that must be considered in addition to the mere number of computers are professional development, administrative and staff support, and environmental factors in the schools. Public and private sectors in California need to unite to improve access to educational technology for all students. Appendixes present profiles of participating school districts, a list of sites visited, and a list of interview participants. An attachment discusses study methodology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report addresses the integration of technology into California's kindergarten through twelfth grade classrooms to prepare students for the job market and for college. The report sets goals for technology integration with a 4-year plan, assesses its cost, and proposes funding and implementation strategies for reaching those goals. The report provides four recommendations: (1) telecommunications infrastructure, hardware, and learning resources--equip every California classroom and school library with the technology resources needed to create a learning environment that will improve student achievement; (2) student content and performance standards--incorporate technology into student content and performance standards recommended by the state for adoption at the district level; (3) teacher content and performance standards--integrate technology into the content and performance standards that will be used to set policies for preparing, hiring, evaluating, and promoting teachers; and (4) technical support--provide expertise and resources needed to support the effective use of technology by students, teachers, parents, and the broader community. (Contains a cost worksheet and 34 references.) (SWC)

Download or read book Preparing Teachers for Deeper Learning written by Linda Darling-Hammond and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preparing Teachers for Deeper Learning answers an urgent call for teachers who educate children from diverse backgrounds to meet the demands of a changing world. In today’s knowledge economy, teachers must prioritize problem-solving ability, adaptability, critical thinking, and the development of interpersonal and collaborative skills over rote memorization and the passive transmission of knowledge. Authors Linda Darling-Hammond and Jeannie Oakes and their colleagues examine what this means for teacher preparation and showcase the work of programs that are educating for deeper learning, equity, and social justice. Guided by the growing knowledge base in the science of learning and development, the book examines teacher preparation programs at Alverno College, Bank Street College of Education, High Tech High’s Intern Program, Montclair State University, San Francisco Teacher Residency, Trinity University, and University of Colorado Denver. These seven programs share a common understanding of how people learn that shape similar innovative practices. With vivid examples of teaching for deeper learning in coursework and classrooms; interviews with faculty, school partners, and novice teachers; surveys of teacher candidates and graduates; and analyses of curriculum and practices, Preparing Teachers for Deeper Learning depicts transformative forms of teaching and teacher preparation that honor and expand all students’ abilities, knowledges, and experiences, and reaffirm the promise of educating for a better world.

Download or read book Oversold and Underused written by Larry Cuban and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2003-04-30 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Impelled by a demand for increasing American strength in the new global economy, many educators, public officials, business leaders, and parents argue that school computers and Internet access will improve academic learning and prepare students for an information-based workplace. But just how valid is this argument? In Oversold and Underused, one of the most respected voices in American education argues that when teachers are not given a say in how the technology might reshape schools, computers are merely souped-up typewriters and classrooms continue to run much as they did a generation ago. In his studies of early childhood, high school, and university classrooms in Silicon Valley, Larry Cuban found that students and teachers use the new technologies far less in the classroom than they do at home, and that teachers who use computers for instruction do so infrequently and unimaginatively. Cuban points out that historical and organizational economic contexts influence how teachers use technical innovations. Computers can be useful when teachers sufficiently understand the technology themselves, believe it will enhance learning, and have the power to shape their own curricula. But these conditions can't be met without a broader and deeper commitment to public education beyond preparing workers. More attention, Cuban says, needs to be paid to the civic and social goals of schooling, goals that make the question of how many computers are in classrooms trivial.
Download or read book Stuck in the Shallow End updated edition written by Jane Margolis and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2017-03-03 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why so few African American and Latino/a students study computer science: updated edition of a book that reveals the dynamics of inequality in American schools. The number of African Americans and Latino/as receiving undergraduate and advanced degrees in computer science is disproportionately low. And relatively few African American and Latino/a high school students receive the kind of institutional encouragement, educational opportunities, and preparation needed for them to choose computer science as a field of study and profession. In Stuck in the Shallow End, Jane Margolis and coauthors look at the daily experiences of students and teachers in three Los Angeles public high schools: an overcrowded urban high school, a math and science magnet school, and a well-funded school in an affluent neighborhood. They find an insidious “virtual segregation” that maintains inequality. The race gap in computer science, Margolis discovers, is one example of the way students of color are denied a wide range of occupational and educational futures. Stuck in the Shallow End is a story of how inequality is reproduced in America—and how students and teachers, given the necessary tools, can change the system. Since the 2008 publication of Stuck in the Shallow End, the book has found an eager audience among teachers, school administrators, and academics. This updated edition offers a new preface detailing the progress in making computer science accessible to all, a new postscript, and discussion questions (coauthored by Jane Margolis and Joanna Goode).
