Through the initiative/grant process, high schools in PA are given funding to purchase laptops and interactive whiteboards and so forth to create "21st century classrooms". Then, professional development is supplied to the CFF team in each building through a CFF coach (me). Part of the initiative is to change education and to open up everyone's eyes a bit wider to encompass more constructivist approaches to teaching.

Curious to know if this is due to a coordinated effort of more holistic projects or more a bunch of constructivist teachers? It'd also be great to hear how some of these projects cross "classes" and subjects, since the work world doesn't have these artificial separators.
