The National School Boards Association (NSBA), and our state school boards associations working with the Federal Relations Network (FRN), the National Affiliate Advocacy Network (NAAN), and local school district advocates were successful in efforts to include $100 billion of education funding in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 that will enable school districts to maintain the level of services to students amid the economic recession and state and local budget shortfalls. The law is also critical to help retain thousands of jobs for teachers and personnel that may have been affected because of projected budget cuts.

Title I funds must continue to be used for materials and activities to help
improve instruction

Providing intensive support and effective interventions for the lowest-performing schools. LEAs should focus these funds on short-term investments with the potential for long-term benefits

What is a 21st Century Classroom Presentation?

A 21st Century Classroom engages students as well as providing differentiating instruction with the use of technology.

These 21st Century Classrooms have an entirely different look and feel than the traditional classroom. Many new technologies are introduced: interactive whiteboards, student response systems, mobile laptop carts, etc. Hardware is necessary; however, the software is what interacts directly with the students and teachers. Software is the critical piece unifying school administrators, teachers, students and parents. School-wide testing, universal screening, a Response to Intervention model, are all technology components with different goals and custom implementations.

“Drag and drop” functionality aligning questions to state standards, ongoing scientifically-proven research-based projects,  and engaging and interactive content allows teachers and administrators to feel confident about their students’ learning.

Standards mastery reports and parent generated letters helps administrators and teachers receive the data they need as well as informing the parents on their students’ academic progress.

Register Now for the 21st Century Classroom Presentation if you would like to learn how these new technologies work together.
