The WGBH Educational Foundation, in partnership with the League for Innovation in the Community College, is developing, field testing, and disseminating multimedia resources to foster the use of effective teaching and learning practices among Advanced Technology Education faculty members. The materials are adaptations of Learning Exchange Networks modules, a research based professional development curriculum written specifically by and for community college teachers. The customized materials feature video segments illustrating exemplary practices and online resources and strategies targeted to ATE disciplines. The primary audience of the materials is comprised of adjunct faculty who are teaching in ATE programs. These materials are also useful to new and experienced community college faculty who are interested in revisiting their instructional strategies within the context of teaching for understanding.These resources are being field tested in 13 ATE centers and programs in community colleges across the country, revised to increase their effectiveness and ease of use, then further evaluated at a representative group of 10 additional ATE programs across the country, and disseminated through a network of over 750 League for Innovation in the Community College member colleges and 112 corporate partners. In addition, the American Association of Community Colleges is assisting in the dissemination of the materials.The intellectual merit of these resources is ensured by the active engagement of experts from industry as well as academia, including substantial representation from ATE programs and the community college system; and by the decades-long track record of WBGH in developing compelling teacher training resources that fully engage and inspire the viewer. The Community College Leadership Program at the University of Texas is conducting formative and summative evaluation activities to ensure that the new materials are rigorously tested at each stage of development.

WGBH教育基金会与社区学院创新联盟合作，正在开发，实地测试和传播多媒体资源，以促进先进技术教育教师使用有效的教学和学习实践。这些材料是学习交流网络模块的改编，这是一个专门为社区学院教师编写的基于研究的专业发展课程。定制的材料包括视频片段，说明针对ATE学科的示例性实践和在线资源和策略。这些材料的主要受众是由在ATE课程中授课的兼职教师组成。这些材料对于有兴趣在教学促进理解的背景下重新审视其教学策略的新的和经验丰富的社区大学教师也很有用。这些资源正在全国社区大学的13个ATE中心和项目中进行现场测试，并进行修改以提高其有效性和易用性，然后在全国10个其他ATE项目的代表性小组中进行进一步评估，并通过社区学院成员学院的750多个创新联盟和112个企业合作伙伴的网络进行传播。此外，美国社区学院协会（American Association of Community Colleges）也在协助这些材料的传播。这些资源的知识价值得到了业界和学术界专家的积极参与，包括ATE项目和社区学院系统的大量代表;以及WBGH在开发令人信服的教师培训资源方面的数十年记录，这些资源充分吸引和激励了观众。德克萨斯大学的社区学院领导力计划正在进行形成性和总结性评估活动，以确保新材料在开发的每个阶段都经过严格测试。
