ECISD plans to hold at least eight on campus technology training sessions for faculty with workshops occasionally available. While not mandatory for teachers, technology is part of evaluations and accountability. A national poll by AASA and Lightspan cited gains in student achievement from tech use, while Fordham found improvements at a Bronx low income school using Lightspan software.
