Overview
The In-Service, classroom based, Teacher Training Program,
has been the core of the first phase of AAM. The program
began in January of 2000 and over 600 in-service teachers
have been trained by this method. The training includes a:
- Graduate-level, three-credit course
- Supplemental technology including a
laptop computer for each teacher
(not required in the syllabi presented here)
- Pedagogical training
- Mentoring program
Due to the success of this hallmark
AAM teacher training program, in-service teachers are
now able to better
integrate technology in the classroom and take advantage
of the
immense resources of the Library of Congress.
Each AAM Partner administers the program differently. However,
all the programs have three basic components:
- A graduate-level, three-credit course that trains teachers
how to integrate technology and online LOC resources into
the classroom;
- A summer institute or workshops that help
teachers either gain additional or improve existing technology
skills and;
- Mentoring that allows teachers to pass their
knowledge and experiences to colleagues in their individual
schools.
Participating in-service teachers are generally active
in the AAM program for at least one full year, though
many continue
to be involved in the program through peer mentoring
and other ways.
This is the content delivery method currently in use. It
will be phased out by the end of the 2003-2004 year.
