The Technology Integration Educator (TIE) Program, which was launched in the spring of 2007, involves a cadre of ASD secondary teachers who are trained to provide guidance and instructional support for technology-enhanced curriculum programs such as Fast ForWord, Achieve 3000, APEX, and other programs prioritized by division directors and the curriculum departments.

The middle and high school divisions’ Six-Year Plans and the District Improvement Plans include a number of technology-based programs used for remediation, acceleration, and alternative learning opportunities for students. Professional development is a critical component for successful implementation of these programs, and for the past two years (2005-2006 and 2006-2007), the secondary divisions have begun to develop a Train-the-Trainers model with certain key programs.

The TIE program is modeled after the highly successful Technology Teacher Leader (TTL) program, but it is tailored to meet the specific need of providing training for prioritized technology-infused programs at the secondary level. Like the TTL program, the TIE program is funded through E2T2 funds.

Since the primary goal of the targeted programs is to increase the academic achievement of students from all No Child Left Behind (NCLB) groups, the mission of the TIE program will directly support E2T2 goals.
