How Can the Annie E. Casey Foundation Help?
• Support and extend community technology programs by building on what we already know. There is little need for additional, isolated “demonstration” projects. There is great need for thoughtful analysis and extension of what is already working. Particularly when it comes to children and families where Casey is already a national leaderthere are opportunities to make high-impact contributions by building on successful prototypes. Document and distribute effective computer-based curricula and programmatic activities, and support the professional development of community technology leaders. The professional support infrastructure for this field is not well developed, and the Foundation could make a significant contribution by supporting systems for sharing best practices and developing staff. Study what works, and why it works. The Foundation can help deepen our common understanding of what works by looking in more detail at issues such as family computing, teaching methods, and support
