Abstract

The Teachers Infusing Technology in Urban Schools project (TITUS) at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) is developing an approach for addressing the shortage of opportunities for teacher candidates to experience technology being used effectively in high-need urban schools in the course of their field experiences. This approach, the Technology Mentor Model (TMM), is a replicable process for recruiting, supporting and sustaining technology mentors to provide models of technology infused instruction for teacher candidates. This paper details the elements of the TMM and presents data supporting its effectiveness.
