P3T3:
Purdue Program for Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to use Technology
was funded by the U.S. Department of Education's PT3 grant program from June 1, 2000 through May 31, 2004. It was a collaborative effort of Purdue's School of Education and its
partners that was designed to:
- prepare pre-service teachers to demonstrate fundamental technology
competencies, using technology as a tool for teaching/learning,
personal productivity, communication, and reflection on their teaching;
and,
- prepare teacher education faculty in Education, Science, and
Liberal Arts to teach pre-service teachers in technology-rich environments,
modeling approaches that future teachers should use themselves.
Following five years of planning, the School of Education at Purdue
University implemented completely restructured
elementary and secondary teacher education programs beginning in 1999 and culminating in 2002. The new teacher
education programs, which included four strands -- technology, diversity,
field experience, and portfolio assessment -- provided the larger framework
for the P3T3
project. The School of Education led the project with collaboration
from the Schools of Science and Liberal Arts, four K-12 school districts,
outside education agencies, and corporate partners. The project
met its goals using three unique complementary components:
- pre-service teachers were taught by technology-proficient
faculty who participated in a comprehensive faculty development program
in which they learned new teaching/learning technologies and practiced
using them with mentoring and technical support leading to lasting
technology integration into teacher education courses;
- pre-service teachers participated in rich and diverse field
experiences enabled and enhanced through the use of technology;
and
- a dynamic assessment system provided pre-service teachers
the tools and opportunities to select multiple ways of viewing their
evolving teaching practice, reflect on that practice, and use digital
representations to meet performance-based assessments as they built
digital multimedia portfolios.
Ultimately, Purdue's pre-service teachers learned about technology,
integrated it as they saw it modeled by their instructors, and reflected
on their own learning about teaching via digital technologies that
they will eventually model and use with their K-12 students. This
project was part of the national PT3 initiative
and was supported by over $1.1 million in federal funding that was matched
dollar for dollar by contributions from the university and our partners.

Evaluation
The evaluation used multiple methodologies and both formative and
summative evaluation measures. Multiple methodologies involving both
quantitative and qualitative data (document analysis, surveys, observations,
and interviews) were employed to fully measure all aspects of this
dynamic project and achieve triangulation. The formative evaluations
occurred throughout the life of the grant. The project evaluator
was Courtney Brown, Dominion
Research. We also had a team of external evaluators: Allen Glenn,
Rodney Reed, and Elizabeth Rhodes.
