THE NORTH HUDSON ELECTRONIC EDUCATION
EMPOWERMENT PROJECT
The North Hudson Electronic Education Empowerment Project (NHEEEP) is part of a larger effort to create a state-wide consortium focused on promoting compelling and effective educational opportunities for children and teachers in resource challenged areas of the state. NHEEEP consortium members include: Hudson Falls Central Schools, the lead educational agency; the Institute for Learning Technologies of Teachers College, Columbia University; over twenty six North-Hudson area public school districts serving approximately 25,000 students; four independent schools; the WSWHE Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES); a literacy foundation; numerous small business and corporate concerns; two public libraries; more than twenty five scientific research facilities and conservation centers; a variety of community-based organizations, three museums; and seventeen affiliated chambers of commerce.
The project aims to assist teachers in addressing the new New York State Regents' standards through the use of new media technologies. NHEEEP enhances educational opportunities:
- Through the creative use of digital technologies
- By creating a repertoire of sophisticated and proven curriculum components that stand as models in the K-12 classroom
- By demonstrating the important ways that meaningful and consistent interaction between universities and schools is instrumental to improving education through new media
- Through the advancement of technological resources and associated training to parents and other community members with little opportunity to access such resources
- By addressing specific needs of young children with particular difficulties in reading; and
- By initiating an extended period of consistent and substantial annual improvement of student performance on all relevant academic measures, including standardized reading and math test scores and content area Regents' tests.
