Project TIME’s acronym —— Technology Integrated into Meaningful learning Experiences —— represents our project’s central purpose: using technology to make a significant contribution to meaningful learning environments for students.
Project TIME
is funded by a Technology Innovation Challenge Grant awarded by the U.S.
Department of Education in June 1999 to the Battle Creek Area Staff Development
Consortium. The consortium includes the Battle Creek Public Schools, Lakeview
School District, Harper Creek Community Schools, Pennfield Schools and
the Battle Creek Area Christian Schools. Altogether, these districts have
approximately 1,100 teachers and serve 16,000 students.
In recent years, educators in these districts have collaborated to create professional development for teachers that focuses on meaningful student learning grounded in state and district standards. Through Project TIME, we now have the capabilities to integrate technology into this effort, expanding and transforming what teachers are able to do and what students will have the opportunity to learn.
