Project Overview

History of Stanford Involvement in Project
In August of 1998, California State Senator Diane Watson arranged for a Bermuda delegation, comprised of the XL Education Initiative Steering Committee and Bermudian government ministers, to meet with a professor at Stanford University to discuss the development of an information technology (IT) curriculum for Bermuda's public schools. In September of 1998, a proposal submitted by the Stanford team, led by Professor Eric Roberts, detailed plans to develop such a curriculum.

• Curriculum content definition
  
• Professional development
  
• Student assessment
