Educate focuses on two areas essential to a successful technology program:

Faculty Mentoring —An Educate Technology Coach spends at least one full day of classes each week in the school working closely with teachers and students in the classroom or computer lab.This weekly contact allows the Tech Coach to work one-on-one with each teacher developing their individual skill and comfort level in using technology. 

Technology Consulting —Educate guides client schools through a detailed needs analysis to determine the most essential and lowest cost options for each school’s specific technology needs, resulting in the most affordable, effective and user-friendly interface for teachers and students. Educate has saved schools thousands of dollars from their annual technology budgets by assisting schools in the planning and implementation of their technology infrastructure.

We have found the combination of faculty mentoring and technology consulting to be a powerful force in building exciting, 21st century technology programs. While working with Educate, our partner schools find that:

Teachers are confident, comfortable and enthusiastic about using technology in their instruction.

All aspects of the schools’ technology infrastructure work together. New equipment and technology is used right away by the faculty.

Every aspect of student learning is improved by the use of technology from helping students prepare for state tests to publishing student writing in creative ways.
