Partnership for Learning pairs
a student mentor with a teacher in their major area of interest. The
student is a catalyst for technology learning and gains a new perspective
of the field through the teacher. |
Uncovering abilities rather than teaching applications
will lead to more effective teaching and learning.
Rather than a plan for reform, P4L creates conditions for evolution. |
SPARK: a quality with latent potential; something that
ignites.. Teacher's interest area Subject and not technology related Teacher's challenging issue Learning oppportunity that needs fresh approach |
Developing the independence to discover and learn for themselves
what works in their classroom is improved with a catalyst and a spark.
If
the teacher is really at home with technology in one area, this will
transfer to use of other technology on a
wider scope. |

The initial 'jump-start' happens most effectively one-on-one ~ a
personal touch through a personal project. |
