Harvard and Chesterfield County Public Schools
Chesterfield County Public Schools is participating in what is believed to be the largest 2012 public education research project in the country. This mutually beneficial relationship with Harvard University will encompass 18,000 students in grades 5-8. Through the TESLA project, the Harvard Graduate School of Education is researching the relationship between technology-based motivational activities and student interest in careers in science, technology, engineering and math. TESLA stands for Transforming Engagement of Students in Learning Algebra, and this brief video describes the project: teslahgse.wordpress.com/home/media/. All Chesterfield County math and special education teachers will learn how to deliver TESLA lessons to their students. Harvard researchers — including Professor Chris Dede who helped create the National Education Technology Plan — will train Chesterfield teachers. The professional development sessions will run 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. March 12-16. The teachers will then implement TESLA lessons in their classrooms — some as soon as March 15, but most will begin March 19.
