Center for Implementing Technology in Education Partnership

The Northampton Public Schools has been awarded a partnership with the Center for Implementing Technology in Education Partnership (CITED).  Nationally, only 5 proposals were funded and the Northampton proposal was in the top two of those selected.  Through this partnership the district will receive $50,000.00 worth of professional development from CITED for K-12 teachers.  The focus of the professional development will be using a variety of software systems to enhance the instructional experience of students by making text more accessible to them.
