School-wide support can happen in some of the following ways:

1. Which of the following could be a possibility at your school?

Use the bulleted list to focus on your school plan. Add ideas from the list above or share your ideas.

• School site mentor
• Student-led support
• Workshops for staff development
• Digital resources for self-guided professional development

       2. Select one idea from above and share why it would work for your school site.

Digital resources for self-guided professional development would work the best for our site, as time is limited as are the staff available to train other teachers or facilitate student-led support.

Methods for encouraging  buy-in and leadership support:

• School site technology newsletters with links

             to blogs, websites, and resources.

• Publicized tech meetings, open to all

             who wish to participate

• Round table discussions with parent teacher organizations

             to help develop a school site plan and goals.  

• Surveys identifying wants and needs for

             professional development for teachers.

• Parent tech education events to demonstrate  

             the valuable  methods  of instruction that is taking place in their child’s classroom.  

1. Select from the list above ideas you would like to see at your school site.

Next Steps

1. Brainstorm a list of all who could be involved in helping this plan become a reality. 

• School librarian
• School tech
• School principal
• School teachers

      2. Create a ‘To do’ list for what needs to happen next:

• Create a section of the website for tech tips (there’s already a document - maybe make a forum for this?)
• Plan to talk about one tech tip per in-service
• Action Research
