ABSTRACT

Project Technology Creates Dependability (TCD) is a grant proposal that will bring technology to students and the teachers at the Title I school, Elijah Walker Elementary School. Most students from Elijah Walker Elementary school do not have the technology at home to further their education because they are unable to afford it. The goal of Project TCD is to make the students' education more dependable, making the reciprocity of effort easier for both teachers and the students. Project TCD will provide laptops and tablets to the students that do not have them at home and SMARTboards to the school to help the teachers enhance their lessons. After the first year of being funded, it is anticipated that more students will turn in their homework and test scores start to go up. Students' test scores will be assessed from the year before and compared to test scores the year they have full access to the technology needed. After evaluating the test scores and the students' overall achievement, the hope is to expand Project TCD to the other elementary schools in the district.
