We encourage educators in eligible school districts to apply for grant funding for the Teaching & Learning in the 21st Century (TL21) Program. TL21 is a new two-year course of professional development designed for educators who want to learn the basics of technology integration. It is structured with two strands – hands-on training that develops strong proficiencies with digital technologies, and the study and practice of instructional strategies that integrate technology into standards-based curricula. TL21 grant awardees will receive 62 hours of comprehensive professional development and be able to equip their classrooms with specific digital technologies. The new program is a component of the Title II, Part D, EETT (Enhancing Education Through Technology) Program funded by ARRA – American Recovery & Reinvestment Act 2009.
