Evaluation of NC 1:1 Learning Initiative


In 2007, the Friday Institute Evaluation team was awarded a contract to evaluate a one-to-one (1:1) pilot learning initiative in eleven North Carolina high schools reaching approximately 4000 students and 400 school staff. The focus of this evaluation study is two-fold, examining the extent to which the pilot schools implemented the 1:1 initiative strategies and achieved the 1:1 project objectives; and, to inform local and state-decision-makers on future technology policy and funding.

Funding was provided by partners as follows: North Carolina Department of Public Instruction provided state funding for infrastructure, professional development, and evaluation; SAS provided funding for teacher laptops; Golden Leaf Foundation provided funding for student laptops; and The Friday Institute for Educational Innovation supported the 1:1 Learning Collaborative, a resource-rich website and professional development program targeting 1:1 projects.
