Enhancing Education Through Technology (EETT)

CCCS has received funds through three competitive EETT grant competitions to enhance instruction through greater use of educational technology. The Chester Community Charter School (CCCS) EETT program is designed to improve students’ academic achievement through use of technology and ensure that all students are technologically literate upon graduating the 8th grade. The program also aims at increasing teacher capacity to effectively integrate research-based technology resources and systems into curricula and instruction.

To attain these goals, the EETT program supports the following research-based strategies:

• A web based differentiated literacy instruction program
• TeenBiz by Achieve3000
• Student access to and instruction in Microsoft Office
• Acquisition of SmartBoards, projectors and laptop computers to enhance instruction, and
• Targeted professional development in TeenBiz, Microsoft Office and SmartBoard.
