WANTED: Technology Starved Teachers for Exciting Opportunity
Dear LUSD Teachers,
In 2014-2015, Lompoc Unified School District will pilot a 1:1 initiative where each student in selected
classrooms will have a mobile device. This is an opportunity to be the teacher in that classroom. The pilot
will focus on the 21st century learning and innovation skills known as the 4 C’s: Creativity, Critical Thinking,
Communication and Collaboration. The teacher will coach, scaffold, and model the 4 C’s while each student
will be able to practice and develop the skills on their own mobile device. The teacher will create an
environment that is conducive to exploration and inquiry while the students have the opportunity to learn
the subject matter using the technology in their hands.
The District will provide professional development, training and support for this program. The success of
the program requires that interested teachers agree to a two-year commitment as outlined in the
application. Teachers may apply as individuals or as partners. Applications must be submitted by 4:00 p.m.
on Friday, June 13, 2014.
The application form is attached and is also located on the LUSD website under Headlines. Please
download a form for completion and forward as an attachment to Anna Hernandez
(hernandez.anna@lusd.org) with the subject line: Attention Technology Application. Applications may also
be submitted through District mail. Please address the envelope to: Anna Hernandez – Information,
Technology and Education Services Department.
