COMPUTERTOTS/COMPUTER EXPLORERS (CTCE), a provider of technology education for children, is breaking new ground, conducting a pilot of their Integrated Technology Resource Program (ITRP) with public school students in the Madison County School District in Mississippi. Helen Pinkerton, owner of CTCE in Madison, facilitated this partnership with educators and administrators in the Mississippi public school system. "A trend seems to be emerging in U.S. public schools, especially in the area of technology education, to use private contractors who can offer students specialized training," says Pinkerton. "Using CTCE in conjunction with regular school curriculum gives school districts the ability to offer students a higher quality education without the expense of employing more faculty." The pilot program was launched at the Madison Avenue Upper Elementary School and Pinkerton predicts the success of the ITRP program there will encourage other public school officials and administrators throughout the state to see the benefit of using CTCE technology training throughout the public education system. "Forming a partnership with COMPUTERTOTS/COMPUTER EXPLORERS is a wonderful opportunity for both our students and our teachers," says Jo Prather, elementary curriculum coordinator for the Madison County School District. "Working together, CTCE and our faculty provide a unique blend of specialized expertise in education and technology that will make science more exciting and attractive to our students." COMPUTERTOTS/COMPUTER EXPLORERS, part of the International Center for Entrepreneurial Development, is the largest and fastest growing home-based provider of computer technology education for children in the U. S., offering computer enrichment to -More- PRESS RELEASE students, ages three to twelve, at child care centers, schools and other community sites. CTCE franchise opportunities are available in all 50 of the United States, in Canada and countries throughout the world. "As co-educators in the Madison County School District we are charged with the responsibility of helping students improve their performance on state mandated achievement tests," says Pinkerton. "I am confident in the CTCE curriculum and in our dedicated technology teachers, and I have no doubt that test scores will reflect positively the implementation of this exceptional program."
