Abstract

In this symposium, projects from the U.S. National Science Foundation's Information Technology Experiences for Teachers and Students (ITEST) Program will describe their teacher training models and research designs from a perspective of sharing plans that will contribute to the common goal of extracting findings across projects. Many of the ITEST projects employ the extended summer institute with follow-up sessions throughout the school year as their professional development model. The National Staff Development Council (2001) describes this model as one that "improves the learning of all students" in its National Standards. This common basis forms the foundation for a cross-project research designs.
