Bethlehem and Model Schools present Tech4Teaching, Summer 2013!
The Common Core State Standards outline rigorous content expectations with the intent to make all students ready for life in a technological society. To this end, they do not treat technology as a seperate strand of content, but rather incorporate expectations of technological proficiency throughout the content standards. We can help by offering hands-on professional development to assist you in integrating technology into your classrooms.
