A planning committee of teachers from grades K-12 will guide the program's evolvement with the ultimate goal of preparing students for the state's writing assessment in grades 4, 7, and 11.

Extractions: Thursday, January 18, 2001 Printer friendly version Thanks to grants from the Tennessee Higher Education Commission, UT researchers will have a chance to share their expertise with educators and students in Tennessee public schools. THEC awarded three separate research teams the Eisenhower Professional Development Grant to improve K-12 learning in mathematics, science and reading. The federal grants are disbursed through a competitive state-run selection process and will provide the much-needed funding for teacher information sessions and in-classroom projects to be given throughout the state. One such program is Jerome Grant and Paris Lambdin's Insects in the Classroom workshop, which shows rural elementary and junior high science teachers how to use insects in teaching agriculture and interactive biology. Lambdin says the $29,959 given to the program will go towards providing travel and take-home materials for visiting instructors. The overall goal is to transfer information to rural counties that wouldn't otherwise have it at their disposal. That would be impossible without the Eisenhower Grant, Lambdin says.

Tennesseans pay the least in state and local taxes - and spend less than all but two states A new report from NEA Research shows once more that Tennesseans are not overburdened with taxes. In fact, says TEA Manager of Research Graham Greeson, What we have is an investment problem. The amazing thing," Greeson noted, is that despite our miserable level of spending on our schools, our students consistently rank at or near the national average on all the standardized tests. Our teachers and schools are giving us far more than were paying for in results. To read the full report click here

For example, transferring students must obtain permission from the receiving district's school board to ensure that the transfer does not harm state desegregation efforts. A provision in state law allows the local boards of education to conduct choice programs as part of the state's Basic Education funding reform package passed in 1992.

Extractions: Assessing the Impact of Technology on Teaching and Learning: Student Perspectives In spring 1998, a study was conducted with Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) faculty on their perceptions about technology in the classroom, their usage of various types of technology, the effects of various technologies on good teaching practices, and their projected use of instructional technology in the near future. In the second phase of our research, a study was conducted with MTSU students. The study addressed student perceptions about technology in the classroom, the value of various types of technology in their learning and research experiences, and the effects of the different types of technologies on their relationship with the instructor and other students, the outcome of the course, and their understanding of the course material. Results of both studies will be shared with participants, with the emphasis on the student study.
