| The successful
development and deployment of software is always a complex process requiring
the contributions of many different individuals. We have had the distinct
privilege of working with countless folks from across the state who have
helped to bring PASS-PORT to life.
To begin
with, this project would not have gotten off the ground without the financial
support of the Louisiana
Board of Regents and the Center
for Innovative Teaching & Learning (CITAL). In particular, Dr.
Jeanne Burns and Commissioner Joseph Savoie have worked diligently in
supporting PASS-PORT development and deployment. Special thanks to Dr.
Carol Whelan, Assistant Superintendent, Louisiana Department of Education
for support and encouragement.
Additionally,
Louisiana deans of Colleges of Education and members of the Technology
Consortium for Teacher Education (TCTE) provided much needed critical
feedback on the functional design of the system.
Faculty and
candidates in the Division
of Education at Xavier
University of Louisiana and faculty and candidates in the College
of Education at the University
of Louisiana at Lafayette contributed countless hours testing and
providing ideas on how to enhance the functionality of the system.
As with most
complex projects, the translation of ideas to reality fell to the implementation
team. Of inestimable value were the long hours and many sacrifices made
by the team members. Despite the inadequate time available to meet project
goals and the myriad of other responsibilities each team member carried,
the team consistently conducted themselves with the utmost professionalism
and dedication. Many thanks to these dedicated individuals:
