The participants are women who have recently come off of welfare and found jobs, and the teachers will be employed by one of several literacy agencies in Philadelphia. Before the teachers begin working with the participants, they will receive training for using technology in an educational setting. Likewise, before the participants take their computers home they must complete a six week orientation in the computer lab. We are about to begin interviewing and hiring the teachers for the project. We will be looking for strong communication and interpersonal skills, as well as a background in adult education. However, we are also looking for some way to assess the potential teachers around technology. Can anyone recommend resources or tools for assessing the technology skills of these teachers? What are some tasks that we might ask these teachers to perform on a computer, as a part of the interview process? Thanks for any help or suggestions you might have! faith Faith Goldstein Technology Coordinator Mayor's Commission on Literacy email: faith.goldstein@phila.gov phone: (215) 686-4486
