Summary
The practice: Professional Development - School leaders must provide relevant, meaningful, and ongoing professional development for all staff.
- Now every school has teacher-mentors who completed three stages of professional development.
- Consortium of 12 rural school districts and 3 cooperating universities
- Professional development process encompasses three stages:
- basic technological competence
- classroom integration of technology
- modeling
The Tech TEAMS program helps teachers become innovative users of technology and helps students become responsible for their own learning. The professional development process leads teachers through three stages: acquisition of basic technological competence, reform of classroom practices, and the sharing of knowledge with other teachers to model the integration of technology. Model technology classrooms at each target school and district demonstrate effective practices for integrating technology into teaching and learning. A cadre of teachers mentors others through the evolution of thought and practice in technology integration.
This site also exemplifies the following practice(s):
- Vision - School leaders must articulate a shared vision of how technology will be effectively used to support teaching, learning, and school management.
