  • Program or Teaching
    • As a new element of the Western Pennsylvania Superintendent's Forum, we have created an advisory committee comprised of leaders from business, government, basic education, higher education and non-profits. This group advises regional school superintendents on issues requiring public leadership by superintendents. Last year's topic revolved around NCLB and resulted in a published OP.ED. in the Post Gazette. This year's advice centered around student health and environment.

EDC's Center for Children and Technology, investigates the roles that technology can play in improving teaching and learning within children's classrooms, schools and communities.
