Professional Development Erica Hoffman

launched 1:1 laptop program; change is hard

hiring process: need criteria for skill set

administration must support the change via oversight

Summer workshops- teachers paid to work on curriculum during the summer allowed to focus on something for one or two days. It could also be for 1-2 weeks to learn a new skill and apply it to the curriculum. It's valuable to the school. An alternative is to build PD into the schedule.

Every 2 weeks for 2 hours paid $3000 for signing up for technology PD. Theoretical reading and then embed technology into the session. Sean will give an example of the syllabus. It's not tech training. They can see a tech integrator for that. The goal is to develop one integrated curriculum.

The key is to give extended time. Carve out the time in the curriclum for PD- not skill-based curriculum

Another idea is then two days off during the school year.

FAQs can be done as a screencast.

Spence - TECAT (Teachers Educating Colleagues About Technology) - 1 member from each grade level - unpaid - regular meetings with tech staff - they can help field questions from other teachers

Administrative support is crucial <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Incentives are crucial

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Moodle for PD and for sharing success stories and carve this out in the curriculum

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Division meetings - give time to share success stories

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">build 5 minutes into every faculty meeting for tech sharing

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Less can be more and it's key to get the faculty presenting not the tech integrator
