Pennsylvania Gov. Edward G. Rendell and Microsoft Corp. today announced a four-year memorandum of understanding (MOU) to support and expand teachers' professional development and high-school reform. The joint effort will contribute to Pennsylvania's Keystone Program for teachers and Project 720, the commonwealth's high-school reform initiative.
Under the MOU, Microsoft will contribute resources including up to $2 million in funding through its Partners in Learning initiative to help build a peer coaching framework for Pennsylvania teachers to excel at integrating technology into their curricula while helping build new tools and resources for preservice institutions and high schools.
