- Tech Goes Home | Becoming a TGH Site
Tech Goes Home is fighting for digital equity. We help bring computers, internet, and training to those without so students can do homework, adults can find jobs, seniors can connect with loved ones, and all can lead healthy lives. INSTRUCTOR APPLICATION BECOMING A TGH CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR Before you start your application: All instructors must be employees or long-term volunteers of an official TGH Partner Site. Make sure your organization is an official TGH Partner Site. Please check with your supervisor, director, or head of school to confirm. TGH has four different programs and you must be certified to teach in each one. Read the program descriptions on the overview page to determine which program(s) best fits your organization’s and participants’ needs. 1. Complete an Online Instructor Application You may ask the TGH Program Supervisor at your organization for the link to the instructor application. You may also email us for it at program@techgoeshome.org Please only fill this form out ONCE. If you have additional information to update TGH about, please reach out to us directly via email. The instructor application will collect some general information about you, your supervisor, and your participants. The application will ask you to complete an Internet Basics assessment and input your score into your application. Completing an application does not guarantee that you will become a TGH Certified Instructor. 2. Complete the Internet Basics Assessment Carefully follow the instructions in the Instructor Application so that you complete only the required Internet Basics assessment. On average, the Internet Basics Assessment takes about 10 mins to complete You must achieve a passing score of 85% or higher. Please take the assessment in a quiet environment where you can concentrate - don’t multitask! 4. Complete an Instructor Orientation Instructor Orientation is completed online and at one's own pace. TGH will invite applicants who have completed the above steps and are a good fit to complete an Instructor Orientation. We ask that you do not extend your invitation or share any links with other people, since all attendees require pre-approval. These orientations provide a comprehensive review of all the responsibilities, logistics, and steps required to run a TGH course. Attending an orientation does not automatically certify you to be an instructor. Please wait for a follow-up email to update you on your application status. Emails will be sent no later than five business days after each orientation. 3. Submit Documentation for a Background CORI Check In order to comply with federal law, TGH is required to conduct CORI checks for all instructors. You will be asked to complete the CORI Acknowledgement Form after submitting the Instructor Application and Internet Basics Assessment. You will need to provide a government-issued picture ID such as a Driver's License, Passport, State ID, or Legal Resident Card. You will receive an email letting you know whether or not your CORI has been accepted by TGH. If you have a CORI record, please know that TGH will make decisions compassionately. 5. Receive a Decision Regarding Your Application Once all the steps above are complete TGH will make a decision on your application. In some instances, TGH may ask for additional steps or follow up before making a final decision. You will receive an email letting you know if your application has been approved or denied. Your approval email will also contain information and instructions on the next steps to start running TGH courses at your site. Important Notes: We will update you on your application status after each step via email. You may also email us with questions and clarifications. Your instructor status might become "expired" if you do not teach a course within a year of attending an orientation. TGH may update or change the instructor requirements listed above at any time. If a new requirement is added, you will need to complete it to keep your instructor status up-to-date or your certification may become expired. If your instructor status becomes expired, you may contact TGH and we will let you know what is required to bring your instructor status up-to-date and renew your certification.

- Stipend & Copay Policy Changes | Tech Goes Home
STIPEND & COPAY POLICY CHANGES Over the past year, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Tech Goes Home has adapted our policies and programming to better meet the urgent needs of our learners, instructors, and communities. Now, as we look ahead to the longer-term recovery from COVID-19 and the future of TGH, we are making carefully thought out changes to our policies and approaches. We are moving forward with two important policy updates: Update 1: TGH graduates will continue to earn a device and internet at no cost. During the pandemic, TGH began providing both a digital device and one year of high-quality internet free of charge to every learner who needed them. Moving forward, TGH will continue providing devices and internet at no cost as part of our programming. Update 2: Instructor and course assistant stipends will be discontinued effective January 1, 2022 During the pandemic - in recognition of the extraordinary demands placed on our instructors - TGH expanded financial stipends to instructors teaching in all programs. After extensive conversations with instructors, an internal review, and consultation with external experts about how best to support learners and instructors going forward, we have elected to discontinue all instructor and course assistant stipends effective January 1, 2022. This decision will allow us to direct more resources to expanding our programming and providing critical tools for learners, instructors, and course assistants, including: Ensuring that every TGH graduate can continue to earn a device and internet at no cost to them; Expanding our professional development programs for instructors and course assistants; Expanding Tech Goes Home’s courses to reach more learners and more communities; Building a Course Assistant Volunteer program so instructors can have community support in their courses; and Developing recognition programs for instructors and course assistants. Our instructors and course assistants remain at the absolute heart of TGH’s mission. We are so grateful for the time they invest and the lengths they go to in order to serve their learners. These updates will allow us to support them more intentionally and sustainably, while also ensuring that even more learners are able to participate fully in TGH programs and gain the access and skills they need to use telehealth, work from home, participate in school, connect with loved ones, and more online. We are profoundly grateful for the tireless efforts of our learners, instructors, staff, community partners, volunteers, and learners during the past year-plus. COVID-19 revealed the depth of digital inequity to an unprecedented degree, and we’re more committed than ever to strengthening TGH as an organization, so that we can better support our communities and connect more learners with digital devices, internet, and critical skills training. As always, we welcome your feedback so please do not hesitate to reach out to us with ideas on how we can continue to best support TGH partnerships. You may submit any inquiries or feedback to program@techgoeshome.org .

- Strategic Planning 2020 | Tech Goes Home
Strategic Plan 2020 Mission Tech Goes Home empowers communities to access and use digital tools to overcome barriers and advance lives. Why TGH? Digital exclusion perpetuates poverty. Without the tools, access, and skills to do homework, navigate online job portals, manage finances, communicate with loved ones, and so much more, it has become incredibly difficult to succeed. And considering the stark demographic inequities in the use of technology, digital inclusion has become a social justice issue of our time. 80% of Fortune 500 companies require online job applications, including major employers such as Walmart and CVS (FCC) 84% of the nation’s K-12 teachers report that digital inequities are growing in their classrooms (Pew Research Center, 2017) 44% of adults with household incomes below $30,000 a year don’t have home broadband services and 46% don’t have a computer (Pew Research Center, 2019) Only 46% of seniors with household incomes below $30,000 say they go online (Pew Research Center 2017) Supporting people to get online and use digital health resources can be crucial to achieving local priorities including: physical and mental wellbeing, prevention, self care, shared care and shared decision making, long term condition management, appropriate use of urgent and emergency care (NHS 2019) TGH addresses these inequities by providing free digital skills training, discounted new computers, and help securing home Internet access. We serve people from the ages of 3 to 93, prioritizing those without technology, the un/underemployed, immigrants, and people with disabilities. TGH is focused on tackling the entrenched barriers to technology adoption and Internet access. Our school, community, small business, and early childhood initiatives provide an impactful and cost-effective model to help families and participants gain the skills, hardware, and Internet access needed for lifelong success. History Founded in 2000, Tech Goes Home (TGH) is an award-winning 501(c)(3) nonprofit that empowers communities to access and use digital tools to overcome barriers and advance lives. Simply put, TGH helps bring computers, Internet, and training to those without so students can do homework, adults can find jobs and manage finances, and seniors can connect with loved ones. With the help of 350+ partner schools and community sites, TGH has served 35,000+ people in over 2,400 courses and distributed 22,500+ new computers over its tenure. In the past four years, TGH has experienced massive growth, from serving 3,000 people in 2016 to 5,500 in 2019. In 2019 alone, TGH ran 396 courses at nearly 200 community partner sites throughout Greater Boston. 75% of TGH learners had household incomes under $35,000 per year. Nearly half of adult learners were immigrants and 85% were people of color. Program Model The TGH model tackles digital exclusion by providing 15 hours of skills training, a new computer to course graduates for $50, and help finding and securing low-cost, high-quality Internet. Each course is uniquely offered by community leaders, trained by TGH, who come from the communities they serve--as early education or school teachers, community case workers or workforce development coaches, and many other grassroots roles. TGH serves people of all ages: TGH School serves school-age students and their caregivers, TGH Early Childhood serves children 3-6 and their caregivers, TGH Community serves adults and seniors, and TGH Small Business serves micro-entrepreneurs. Board and Staff The TGH Board consists of 13 supporters (38% women, 31% POC) who bring a balanced perspective to leadership decisions. TGH has 8 full-time staff members (72% women, 43% POC) including co-CEOs, four program staff, one operations/finance staff member, and one fundraising staff member. Read our staff bios here . More Information Annual Report Impact Report List of program partners Financials FAQ's Why don’t you use phones instead of computers? While smartphones are often cited as a ubiquitous tool that could be the solution, a research paper or job application written on a smartphone pales in comparison to one written on a computer. Poor quality access engenders a lower quality product, leading to an ever-widening opportunity gap. Why don’t you use refurbished computers? Providing each learner with the same model of computers makes distribution efficient & affordable and allows us to teach the operating system of our choice across all of our programs. We also respect our learners and want to ensure they graduate with a quality laptop. Why don’t TGH staff conduct the 15 hours? The train-the-trainer model allows us to enlist more than 300 culturally and racially diverse instructors who currently and directly work with the people we serve. This diverse, equitable, and inclusive approach allows us to scale our impact many fold. Why not do an online course? Many of our learners don’t know how to get online, never mind take an online course. That itself is a digital literacy lesson on its own. A small classroom setting allows learners to gain hands-on experience, form peer-to-peer learning relationships, and build a connection with their local schools or community organizations. Doesn’t all your funding come from the City of Boston? We get foundational support from CoB but the demand is far greater than the funding can cover. We continue to grow and diversify funding in order to increase reach and sustainability. Why do you charge $50 for devices? We view the $50 as an investment from our learners. They are investing in their own learning and success in the program. We’ve found that the copay for devices has helped tremendously with our program completion (90% of learners who enroll graduate from TGH). Are you only in Boston schools? No. In addition to schools in Boston, we’re currently serving schools in Cambridge, Chelsea, and Revere. And of course we partner with more than 100 community groups, social service agencies, libraries, municipal agencies, and others. Are you funded by or a part of Boston Public Schools? No on both counts. Although we serve many Boston Public Schools, we are not a part of BPS nor do we receive any funding from Boston Public Schools. Is there a basic TGH curriculum I can look at? Yes. Check out our TGH School and Community curriculum here . How are the four programs the same/different? Check out our program overview here.
