Abstract	Emerging Literacy Technology Curriculum (ELiTeC 2, [referred to as E2 in this report]), housed at the Center for Best Practices in Early Childhood at Western Illinois University, was funded in 2000 by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) as a 3-year Phase 3 Steppingstones of Technology Research on Implementation Project. E2's technology-based curriculum and procedures combined effective computer applications and emergent literacy experiences and were based on the results of a 3-year research study (referred to in this report as E1) of 255 children and their families from diverse cultures and socioeconomic groups; 8 teachers, and 16 half-day preschool classes in rural and urban central Illinois (Godt, Hutinger, Schneider, & Robinson, 1999; Hutinger, 1999; Hutinger. et al., 1998). E2's target population was preschool children with a wide range of disabilities, those at risk, their families, teachers, and program staff. E2 had three major goals: (1) replicate and validate E1 research findings in a range of typical rural and urban educational settings; (2) study implementation and maintenance of the model as demonstrated by replication sites; and (3) disseminate information related to the study. These goals were supported by five objectives and their tasks. Two objectives related to management and dissemination, while three related to such activities as conducting staff development activities, implementation, and follow-up in replication sites; studying the implementation of the E2 approach in multiple, complex settings; and revising, developing, and disseminating E2 products and materials.
