Title II-D

What is the Title II-D program and what can its funds be used for?

The primary goal of this program – also known as Enhancing Education through Technology (EETT) – is to improve student achievement through the use of technology in elementary and secondary schools. Additional goals include helping all students become technologically literate by the end of the 8th grade and, through the integration of technology with both teacher training and curriculum development, establishing research-based instructional methods that can be widely implemented.

Local activities include the support of continuing, sustained professional development programs and public-private partnerships. Activities also include: the use of new or existing technologies to improve academic achievement; the acquisition of curricula that integrate technology and are designed to meet challenging state academic standards; the use of technology to increase parent involvement in schools; and the use of technology to collect, manage, and analyze data to enhance teaching and school improvement.

How much extra funding will Title II-D receive under ARRA?

Title II-D will receive an additional $650 million in funding.

What Gale products align with the requirements for ARRA's Title II-D funding?

In its most basic form, Title II-D (Enhancing Education Through Technology) simply strives to help students become technology literate. Many Gale resources can provide students with the ability to make use of technology to facilitate the learning process. For example, all Gale K-12 products recently received ReadSpeaker functionality, which allows users to listen to and download actual articles in MP3 format. Other Gale online products designed to nurture the learning process include:

Moreover, all of these products allow students to easily print, download, cite, translate (into eight languages) and e-mail individual articles. Most importantly, all these resources foster the development of critical thinking and 21-century skills while teaching students to become information literate.

Plus, our ASCD Professional Development Collection offer the content needed to help teachers at all levels integrate technology into their curriculum. Plus, a one-time cost of $4 per teacher or 7 cents per eBook per teacher adds further value to this outstanding resource.

Gale resources are also an indispensible source of professional development information and tools for teachers, media specialists and administrators looking to leverage technology effectively to improve teaching and learning. Here are just a few examples:

  • The 52-eBook ASCD Professional Development Collection, as well as dozens of titles from Linworth and Gale's own Educator's Reference Complete.
  • Our Testing & Education Reference Center (TERC) is an online resource designed to help students make their further education decisions easier. Powered by Peterson's, TERC provides students with a deep selection of online and eBook test-prep material, information on more than 2 million financial awards worth $8 billion, and unmatched detail on two- and four-year colleges and universities across the U.S. and Canada.
  • Gale's eBook offerings include dozens of titles that address technology in the classroom, such as:
