Overview
Feedback from Needs
Assessment shared a
common thread with district
initiative to produce 21st
Century Learners .
Provides a framework
for professional
development.
1.5 hours of PD
facilitated by building
principal.

Notebook Overview
Feedback illustrated a
significant gap between
possessing equipment and
possessing enough
understanding to fully
integrate technology for and
by students.
Assess prior
knowledge and build
background
knowledge. Provide
reteach and enrich
opportunities for
users on all points in
the technology
continuum.
2 hours of PD with
Terry Bohr (District
Technology
Facilitator). 1 hour of
follow-up coaching to
be used by participant
as either further
instruction,
collaborative
planning, and/or as an
observation with
follow-up coaching.
Coaches are two
building experts.
Classroom visits and
supervision. Concepts
found in Glickman,
Gordon & Gordon’s
(2001) book,
Supervision and
Instructional
Leadership.
Feedback demonstrated a
high need of technology
integration between all
grade levels and content
areas.
PD is differentiated
not only by grade
concentration but by
varied technology
ability levels.
2 hours of PD with Sitebased experts (one
primary and one
intermediate). Mandatory
30 minute follow-up
coaching opportunity to
assess transfer and
provide additional
support.

Response to Intervention
(RTI) Overview
Most feedback responses
expressed a need for utilizing
technology as a teacher
resource tool for monitoring
student progress not only
with summative assessments
but for informal formative
assessments as a check for
understanding.
Integrate technology
as means to provide
varied assessment and
intervention
opportunities.

Dr. Baker.

Intervention Assistance,
Websites and other
Resources
Feedback provided
information in regards to
teachers needing quicker,
reliable and varied data for
extensive data analysis.
Strengthen student
learning and
achievement on both
ends of the learning
continuum.
2 hr. PD focused on
intervention assistance,
websites and other
resources provided by
Tricia Henry (District

Project Based Learning
with Real-World
Applications
Feedback was scarce in
response to questions
addressing a students need
to construct their knowledge
and information through
their own research using
technology to seek answers
to questions that matter.
Provide a variety of
relevant real-world
application
opportunities for
students to
communicate,
research, and grow
with higher level
thinking.
2 hr. PD facilitated by two
site-based experts using
Web 2.0 Technology with
a focus on PhotoStory 3.
This PD will begin the
theme of free resource
technology to be used for
teaching and learning.
