In 2007, the Educational Technology section of the Arizona Department of Education required a Peer Coaching element in all of the competitive Title II-D Enhancing Education Through Technology grants.  Requiring this element has led to greater sustainability and capacity building within the currently funded grants.  When the Peer Coaching model is used with fidelity, we have found that the support network within a school and district grows exponentially beyond the capacity building of former competitive grants. The Arizona Department of Education will continue to require the use of a Peer Coaching element in all subsequent competitive educational technology grant proposals. Cathy Poplin, Deputy Associate State Superintendent for Educational Technology
