Professional Development activities will be broken up into 3-4 part series focusing on Core subject areas and integration of Web 2.0 tools. SMART Notebook software and Google Apps for education will be highlighted since this is an overall initiative for our district and our school. These trainings will be held after school , and teachers will be able to choose which ones they attend. During teachers’ PLC times, they can collaborate on lessons integrating technology. Also, once a month, during team meetings, technology integration specialists will attend in order to offer support and continual training to make sure staff moves from one level of proficiency to the next.
5. Evaluation The progress of tech integration in classroom lessons will be monitored in many ways. Teachers will create and maintain a website on Google site. In this way, teachers will be modeling the use of Google sites for their students and parents. Walk-throughs will be done by instructional leaders and integration technology specialists to assess use of technology in lessons. Differentiated technology lessons will be utilized by all students and technology lessons will be student centered. Create a campus survey in addition to the STaR chart that assesses staff proficiencies with technology and professional development offerings. The data gained from all of the above will be used by the CIP committee to assess the technology needs for the next school year based on the Long Range Plan for Technology. The technology committee will also meet at least 2 times a year to review the plan and make sure the campus technology vision is still aligned with district plan.
