ENTech Quality Teaching and Learning Developed by Explornet, ENTech is a research-based professional development program that focuses on quality teaching and learning in a technology-enriched environment. The program was developed around national standards for professional development and meets requirements of No Child Left Behind legislation. The ENTech program design and professional development model emphasizes the North Carolina standard course of study, best teaching practices, new designs for learning, classroom management strategies, linkages to school improvement plans and processes. Participants receive hands-on, research-based practices that maximize learning in a technology-enriched environment. NCCU ENTech Partnership with Durham Public Schools North Carolina Central University’s School of Education and Durham Public Schools have collaboratively worked to develop an ENTech Learning Laboratory at the Durham Public School Staff Development Center. The School of Education provided major funds from its federal Teaching Matters Quality Counts grant to Durham Public Schools and it’s PT3 grant, NC Catalyst at NCCU which assisted in opening the new ENTech Learning Lab in the fall of 2002. Since its opening, over 100 Durham Public teachers and administrators, NCCU faculty, IT specialists from Union and Franklin counties and NCDPI have received training.
