Teachers to Receive College Credit for Learning Technology from Generation Y
Students Exemplary Program Continues to Grow
Olympia, WA Jan 28, 2003 Generation YES, Inc. announced
today that teachers will be able to receive college credit for their
participation in the Generation Y program. Generation Y is an exemplary
model of professional development where students are trained to assist
teachers to integrate technology into their classrooms
(http://www.genyes.org/products/geny).
³Generation Y students have been partnering with teachers to
improve their schools for over 6 years,² said Dennis Harper, CEO and founder
of Generation YES, Inc., and publisher of Generation Y. ²Now teachers who
work with Gen Y students can enhance their professional credentials by
earning graduate college credit.²
Washington State University is providing credit for teachers through their
Distance Degree Program (http://www.distance.wsu..edu/index.asp). Teachers
can register and complete the course online from anywhere in the world.
Increased Need, Reduced Budgets
Even as more technology makes its way into schools, schools and
districts have to make do with smaller budgets for teacher professional
development. Generation Y is an innovative program that uses an overlooked
resource, students, to help teachers bring classrooms into the 21st century.
The collaboration between teachers and students is effective in improving
the use of technology in schools by providing time-starved teachers with the
ongoing support they need. Years of evaluation and research studies
demonstrate that teachers, students, and taxpayers benefit from this model.
College credit for participating teachers makes Generation Y an even more
attractive and cost-effective professional development choice for schools.
Generation Y
Generation Y has won awards and national acclaim since its
introduction in 1995 as a federal Technology Innovation Challenge Grant.
Hundreds of schools in the United States have implemented Generation Y
classes, and extensive research has demonstrated the program¹s effectiveness
in improving student learning and changing teacher practice. Generation Y
students work with teachers to help integrate technology into the classroom
and improve learning in their school.
Generation YES, Inc.
Generation YES, Inc. works with schools all around the world to plan,
implement and enhance student technology programs through consulting,
innovative curriculum and research-based support services.
