Strategic Long-Range
Technology Plan and Integrated Technology Curriculum July 01, 2008 – June 30,
2011
Section 9:
Professional Development
Springport Public Schools believes professional development and training is critical to the successful implementation of the Integrated Technology Curriculum. Plans for technology training are aligned with the standards set for by the National Council for Staff Development, the Technology Standards for School Administrators (TSSA), the National Educational Technology Standards for teachers, and the National Educational Technology Standards for Students. Training is also based on the grade level content expectations set forth in the Michigan Educational Technology Standards (METS). All of which will be incorporated into the professional development opportunities available to all administrators, teachers and other staff members.
Professional
Development
Training Sessions will focus on the use of hardware and software, as well as the integration of these tools into the curricular areas. Professional development will be offered to all employee groups – teachers, administrators and support personnel. Special efforts will be made to address the cross-curricular effectiveness of technology in the classroom. Workshops will continue to be offered that include heterogeneous staff members, media specialists, varied subject matter teachers and technology staff working together. Future efforts will focus on basic skills with technology tools, integrations of technology with the curriculum, and implementation of new technology tools.
Follow-up/ support
activities for continued training related to educational technology
The Collins Writing Program Workshop and MEAP toolkit are
follow-up activities to the staff development provided in the 2007 / 2008
school year. The training seminars are provided by the
|
MEAP
toolkit Scheduled as needed by Teachers will analyze their classroom,
grade level, and district results from the MEAP test. They will learn how to
teach students to “buy in” to data analysis and become better test takers.
Also, teachers will discover where they need to focus for improvement, gain
tools to be used daily in the classroom, and create a plan for implementing
the changes needed for better scores in the future. |
