DATE:  October 21, 2009

The Pennsylvania Department of Education is pleased to announce that the 2009-10 Education budget includes funding for Cohorts two and three 21^st Century Teaching and Learning technology integration coaches (previously the Classrooms for the Future program.)  These coaches may support teachers utilizing technology for teaching and learning in grades 5-12 in any subject area.

We expect that the funding will be available for the second semester and encourage you to plan to release your coach or hire a coach to support your teachers at that time.  If you expect to have a new coaches, please have them send a resume and cover letter to Kara Thomas at c-kthomas@state.pa.us.  There will be a coaching meeting planned for the second semester for new coaches.
