Replication Tips

The primary organizational concern when dealing with the Computing Seniors / Computing Parents project is ensuring that each of the sites provide consistent training. Additionally, ongoing coordination throughout the school year is vital. A single central point of contact is necessary for communication with citizens interested in participating in the program in order to link them to the site nearest them.

Costs and Funding

The Computing Seniors/Computing Parents Program is funded through the district's Adult Basic Education Program. These funds cover the cost of trainers and assistants only. Total cost of the program per year is $19,000.

Each site may charge participants up to $10.00 for the 10-12 week session to cover the cost of materials only.

The trainers are classroom teachers that are given $18.00 per hour as a stipend for extra pay for extra duty. Assistants are usually hourly workers that are paid $12.00 per hour to assist during the training sessions. Trainers are also allowed one hour of paid preparation time for every 2 hours in actual training sessions.
