Projects In Your State "[AmeriCorps] is a tremendous investment in young people, a tremendous investment in the future, and I am a strong supporter of AmeriCorps. I think they have demonstrated their worth, they have paid their dues and they are worthy of the support I hope they will get from Congress." General Colin Powell "For our Learn and Serve project, the students wrote children's books and magazines. After the books and magazines were completed, we took them to one of the local elementary schools to read to the younger students. The middle school students learn how good it feels to help someone else and also how difficult it is to teach students new things." Mrs. Bullock, Teacher, Eufaula City Schools "In the Birmingham Public Schools, the impact of this program is far reaching. AmeriCorps members serve as tutors in the elementary schools, which increases the proficiency skills of students and increases their test taking skills. Many students would not be able to master basic skills or pass required skills tests without the extra help and support of this program. Educators and principals view it as God-sent." Otis Wayne Dismuke, Birmingham Public Schools Director of Community Education

SREB Jennifer Burke August 1998 Technology Standards for Teachers “To be effective, technology certification for educators needs to be part of formal education policy and a required element of school and teacher evaluations. . . . Educators need a system of technology training and certification.” Council on Basic Education, 1998. The rapid increase in the availability of computers and other technology in schools represents a significant investment, and state leaders are concerned about results. To what extent does technology use result in improved student learning? Research has found that teacher skill in using technology is a major factor in improving student learning with technology. Teachers must know not only how to use technology but also when and why to use it. Teacher technology standards identify essential skills teachers need for effective use of computers and other electronic equipment in schools today. State teacher licensure and certification has not kept pace with rapid changes in technology and teaching. Linking technology skills assessments to licensing requirements helps ensure that teachers have the skills to support and guide students and to increase student learning using technology. Twelve SREB states have established teacher technology standards or guidelines that address several levels of competency:
