Excellence in IT Teaching:
From helping courseware developers and publishers align their curriculum to skill standards, to supporting faculty in developing classroom resources, E2E is devoted to providing pedagogical tools you can use to maximize teaching and learning opportunities in the IT classroom. We also provide support strategies for institutions planning to incorporate new technologies, such as .NET or commercial training from vendors like Microsoft and Prosoft into academic contexts.
TOP IT Pedagogy and Technology Planning through the Microsoft IT Academy Teaching Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC)/Academic Learning Series (ALS) into Academic Contexts
E2E is the national program manager for the Microsoft Academies. Community colleges and high schools can join the academy and enjoy numerous benefits such as discounted textbooks. E2E is develops 2 seminars a year that support faculty in their delivery of Microsoft training. The "Teaching MOC/ALS in the Academic Classroom" seminar lays out a step by step approach to integrating these training materials into the classroom.
TOP Working Connections IT Faculty Development Institute
E2E manages the national IT faculty development institute sponsored by Microsoft known as Working Connections. Every year each institute offers 8 technical training tracks that support faculty to gain the most up-to-date technical knowledge they need to keep their educational programs competitive. Each institute also offers special sessions on Best Practices in IT Education. Project Teaching in the IT Classroom We ask participants in the trainings to submit their Best Practices in a variety of areas.
Assessing Soft or "Professional" Skills
Continuously businesses and employers tell us that soft skills make a difference in their recruiting and hiring decisions of our graduates. Apparently, we're doing our jobs arming students with the technical skills they need to be successful in the workplace but we need to add a few more helpings of practice in the soft or professional skills.
