STATEHOUSE – It was announced today by the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) that 23 schools and school corporations will receive up to $200,000 each to implement classroom technology projects. State Rep. Suzanne Crouch would like to congratulate the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation for being selected to receive this grant. “I’m pleased that with this grant EVSC will be able to further improve their use of technology in their classrooms,” said Rep. Crouch. “As our workforce becomes more high-tech, it is important to continue including technology in the classroom so that our students can stay competitive across both the nation and the world.” These grants are awarded through Indiana’s Classroom Innovation Grant program, which is funded primarily through the David C. Ford Educational Technology fund. The schools and corporations that applied were evaluated on their vision for a sustainable technology-infused learning environment and the level of innovation in their proposals. The schools were also reviewed for their efforts to advance student learning in key areas identified by the IDOE – including improvement in Math and English/Language Arts ISTEP+ performance, Advanced Placement exam scores, graduation rates, and use of student growth data.
