What is the Training and Development Consortium? TDC Competency Development Project The TDC is beginning work to draft a set of "competencies" for SEA/LEA project managers. Described by professional literature as "a cluster of related knowledge, attitudes, and skills that affects a major part of one's job, role, or responsibility," comptencies correlate with performance on a job and can be measured against standards. For the TDC, it is important to note that competencies can be improved through training and development. Once developed, competencies would enable SEA/LEA (HIV/CSHP) project managers to: better understand the competencies needed for carrying out project tasks within the agency better understand staff professional development needs select appropriate professional development activities utilize professional development activities for continuous improvement In addition, competencies could be used by: TDC members to collect information on the needs of SEA/LEA staff attending TDC events TDC members to develop and tailor TDC events to meet the developmental needs of SEA/LEA staff attending them CDC project officers to discuss professional development selections and outcomes with SEA/LEA managers Over the coming months, the TDC will engage in a process that will result in the development of draft competencies to be piloted in the Summer/Fall 2001. As part of this process, a 15-member working group, composed of LEA and SEA managers and TDC members, will convene in February. This group will develop a draft document that will be sent to a broader audience for review.

Technology and Teaching in the Curry School of Education by Kara Dawson and Clare Kilbane In the mid-1980s, the Curry School of Education reorganized both the education school and its associated teacher education program. Educational technology was one of three strands (along with special education and multicultural education) designated for integration throughout the program. This integration has provided the impetus for a series of diffusion and dissemination strategies that have been supported and sustained through engagement of faculty with a wide range of interests in technology use over a 15-year period spanning the tenure of three deans. The end goal of this integration is to ensure that preservice teachers will be prepared to integrate appropriate uses of educational technologies in their own teaching after graduation, and serve as leaders for other teachers. After working toward this goal for an extended period of time, we have reached several shared values or conclusions regarding the most effective means of attaining this goal: The focus should be on teaching with technology rather than teaching about technology.
