Abstract
This article suggests a philosophical framework for an Israeli model of a computerised Networked Teachers’ Training Centre (NTTC). It describes a community model being developed by a local community and the Education Ministry of Israel. The article clarifies the mission statement of the NTTC. It delineates what is being done in training three groups of teachers in three disciplines: science, mathematics and literacy through a rich Information and Communication Technology (ICT) environment. It provides an evaluation of this initial phase and draws the multidisciplinary approach of the centre for a communal curriculum development as its second phase.
