TechBoston
Academy - Boston, MA
TBA is an innovative new
pilot inner city school with a focus on
empowering and motivating students
through technology and the very best of
research based pedagogy and school
governance. We expect that this school
will create new models for teaching and
learning, while redefining the roles of
teachers and students in schools, and we
believe that what is learned here will be
widely replicated across the country. The
school will draw on lessons learned in
years of success in Boston’s
TechBoston student technology program.
The Gates foundation and a number of
other foundations, as well as public
private partnerships, are making the
creation of this school possible.
Leadership by Mary Skipper and strong
personal support from the Mayor of
Boston, and School Superintendent Tom
Payzant will help assure this
school’s success. |
