Center Overview

CITEd supports state and local education agencies (SEAs/LEAs) in implementing and evaluating selected evidence-based practices that effectively integrate technology into sound teaching so that children with disabilities will have access to the general education curriculum and achieve high educational standards. CITEd produces and disseminates information about evidence-based and promising technology integration practices, with a particular emphasis on differentiating instruction through the use of technology.

Methods

The activities of CITEd are organized around four service areas aligned to its four objectives: (a) knowledge development, where the center will systematically identify evidence-based and promising practices that integrate assistive technology (AT) into instructional practices and use the resulting catalog as a base for implementation support, evaluation, and dissemination activities; (b) implementation support, where the center will develop and provide a variety of technical assistance and professional development (PD) activities that involve all SEAs; (c) evaluation and scaling-up support, where the center will develop tools and assist implementers in collecting and analyzing data related to the impact and effectiveness of the practices they select in improving curriculum access and the achievement of students with disabilities; and (d) information dissemination, where the center focuses upon disseminating information to SEAs, LEAs, families, and other stakeholders on how technology practices can improve teaching and learning for students.
