Professional Development
Keeping pace with
Technology continually consumes more and more of a district's limited
resources. Now more than ever districts need to be sure that these limited
resources are being utilized wisely. At EduTec, we strongly believe that
without having the teachers on board, even the best designed technology
plan is destined to fail. The single most effective way to get a staff
on board is to provide quality staff development. Teachers who feel comfortable
and competent in technology will be more likely to integrate technology
into their teaching approach. The second, often overlooked but equally
important key to successful implementation, is support. A teacher who
knows that immediate help is only a phone call away is much more likely
to change their teaching patterns and methods of implementation. Keeping
in line with the curriculum, EduTec will provide a logical, systematic
approach to developing a technology professional development plan which
ensures that all faculty member feel competent in the skills necessary
to successfully integrate technology into their classrooms.
