Serving as one of Ohio's Educational Technology Agencies, the WGTE Educational Resource Center (ERC) provides schools with programs and services that promote the creation of technology-rich 21st century classrooms.
You are hearing it nationally and statewide...21st century learning is the buzz in education! Ohio has become the 14th state to join The Partnership for 21st Century Skills. AS a P21 Leadership State, Ohio has committed to, within the next three years:
- ensuring every educator participates in at least one significant professional development program focused on integrating 21st century skills into content;
- updating state standards to reflect a combination of skills and content; and,
- developing and introducing one significant assessment of 21st century skills.
Technology greatly supports the fostering of 21st century teaching and learning. Educators must have opportunities to participate in professional development and expanded learning communities that identify effective strategies for integrating 21st century skills within core subjects.
The ERC is pleased to offer such programs...check out our professional development schedule!
