This Golden LEAF grant will build on and extend the work of the Friday Institute’s NC Learning Technology Readiness Initiative (NCLTRI). Funds will allow the Friday Institute to support nine school districts in Tier 1 & 2 counties. In four counties, the project will continue offering support services and developing implementation strategies for districts previously supported through NCLTRI. In addition, the Friday Institute will begin the process with five additional districts considering 1:1 learning technology initiatives. The NCLTRI will assist schools to prepare college and career ready student and training to teachers in using technology as an instructional tool. Golden LEAF funds will be used for salaries, travel, materials, supplies, and workshop expenses.
