Professional Development

Objectives:
Showcase campus technology and useful ways to implement it in the classroom
Advise teachers on current copyright laws and cyber ethics.
Provide opportunities for teachers to plan experiences with copyright laws and cyber ethics for students
Empower teachers to use and teach with technology tools in the classroom

In response to Weber’s low score in the area of Teacher Development and Preparation on the StaR Chart, we are planning a day of Professional Development devoted to teacher training in technology. The teachers will rotate through four different 90 minute sessions throughout the day.
In one computer lab, the TIS will present all of the software available on campus. Teachers will practice using the software and be given time to plan with their grade level with a focus on implementation.
In the second computer lab, Our technology aid will give a presentation on using Microsoft Power Point and Excel. This comes in response to a campus wide ‘need’ survey. Teachers responded they would more readily use these programs if they could see value and were taught how to use them.
In the KIVA, teachers will be advised on the latest copyright laws and cyber ethics presented by the librarian. Teachers will be given time to break-out into groups to plan on how to integrate this into lessons in the lab. The fourth sessions.
In my classroom, I will show teachers how to use the Lumens to capture pictures and display them side by side, use the SMART board for instruction, and demonstrate how to use the laptop cart in a lesson. Teachers will also be shown the lessons already created on the global dive and how to change them to suit their needs.



Evaluation
At the end of the day we will gather back together to debrief.
All teacher will be given a survey to fill out. Did you find this training useful (scale of 1 to 5)? What did you learn today that you will use? Do you have any lingering questions?
Teachers will also make some classroom goals to implement some of the learning used today. Goals will be submitted in writing and the principal and assistant principal will look for evidence of growth in the PDAS walk-throughs.
A four week follow-up survey will be conducted. What learnings have you implemented? What challenges have you faced? What would you like to learn more about at our next staff development?
Surveys will be evaluated by the TIS and Principal and used to plan a subsequent professional development.The 2009-2010 STaR Chart with hopefully reflect growth
