CFF - Transforming the Way we Teach Link to Adele's Web site

The purpose of the Classrooms for the Future (CFF) initiative is to transform Pennsylvania’s high schools, making them more engaging and more responsive to the economic challenges presented by globalization. This high school reform initiative is designed to:
 * enhance teaching and learning
 * enhance the ability for our students and Commonwealth to compete in an increasingly global marketplace
 * promote access to technology, and
 * foster the effective use of that technology.

In its first three years, the CFF reform initiative has increased the number of powerful computers available for student use, with the goal of placing a laptop computer on every student desk in every public high school classroom in which the four core subjects are taught. CFF has also provided increased access to technology for teachers, with a multimedia teaching station in each classroom, and has made a significant investment in the professional development of teachers by providing face-to-face and online learning experiences and by providing the ongoing assistance required to support a change of this magnitude. *
