This publication was made possible through a grant \ue001rom the Microso\ue001t Corporation.

Microso\ue001t works with local, national, and international education communities to create
technology, tools, programs, and solutions that help address education challenges, while
improving teaching and learning opportunities. We believe that the evolving demands o\ue001 the
global economy make education vital to sustainable social and economic success. We also
believe that education is a \ue001undamental human right and is the single most important investment
in the \ue001uture o\ue001 individuals, communities, the nation, and the world.
