Program Description
Waterbury Adult Education’s initiative entitled
“Technology Education and Curriculum Horizons” (TEACH)
is a multi-step approach to effectively integrate technology into
the adult education classroom teaching model. Areas of primary importance
and focus during the 2002-2003 school year included a broad infusion
of educational technologies through the development of pilot projects
in all program areas; an on-going initiative designed to further
expand the capabilities of all instructional staff to infuse technology
into the teaching/learning process; the streamlining of all administrative
processes to better serve our students through the design and implementation
of an inter-office email system and deployment of the Connecticut
Adult Education Reporting System (CARS); the involvement of our
students and their families in the fulfillment of Waterbury Adult
Education’s mission statement through activities including
the creation of a new web site that will include content provided
through collaborative efforts; the further development of linkages
with other programs and educators to provide a venue to share ideas/information
by creating of an online resource.
We’ve accomplished all of the stated goals
and objectives during the course of the 2002-2003 school year with
a few noteworthy exceptions; first, we have not yet received the
traffic that we had hoped for to our online forum; next, we are
still not at a point where the instructional staff can use the CARS
system to view student information directly; finally, we have not
fully developed an adequate ABE or AHSCDP web page that highlights
student achievement throughout the year. We plan to takes steps
to achieve success with the CARS related goals as soon as it becomes
possible, further promote the forum once all of the instructional
staff from the programs have returned from the summer break and
help the ABE and AHSCDP programs create web pages to include content
that demonstrates student involvement in the community.
