CTL receives contract to develop training modules for IBM's Reinventing Education Change Toolkit website
August 24, 2004
CTL has been awarded a contract by the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) in Washington, D.C. to develop a series of training modules for educators on use of the IBM Change Toolkit web site, part of IBM’s Reinventing Education initiative designed to improve learning by changing the ways in which schools function. The web site is based on the work of Harvard Business School Professor Rosabeth Moss Kanter, and is accessible to educators at no cost.
The training modules will help educators connect with the IBM web site, and quickly use the information and tools there to facilitate productive change in their schools and districts.
“Educators do not lack for materials, tools or professional literature about the change process. In fact, there is almost too much available for educators to choose from, especially given the pace of their work and the external demands for making and documenting changes in practice to meet district, state and federal requirements” says Linda Hargan, CTL president and CEO. “While we believe IBM’s Change Toolkit is an excellent resource for educators, issues of time and ease of access are paramount for educators everywhere.”
“CTL is very pleased to have been selected for this project, and to have received a vote of confidence from a respected organization like the Council of Chief State School Officers,” said Hargan. CTL bringto this work extensive experience and in-depth knowledge about designing training, tools and assessments for educators that prompt deep learning and assimilation of new information.CTL will bring to this task extensive experience and in-depth knowledge in designing training, tools and assessments for educators that prompt assimilation of new information, deep learning and reflection.
