OF THE COHORT ROLL OUT

People neglected by Traditional
Pilot & Cohort Rollouts
Clerical
One of the most overlooked, they are the glue that binds the organization. And one of the the most overlooked populations. They need training on how GAFE makes their life easier.
Admin
Someone needs to train them on how GAFE makes their lives easier. If they are not sold, no one is. At least Building Leaders-, best Superintendents.
Facilities
The MOST overlooked population in a Google Apps roll out. Effectively using Gmail, forms and calendar would streamline their workflow.
Nurse
The nurses life as others would be amazingly improved with the training. Forms alone could change their worklife.
Specialists
Art, Music, Physical Education, Health teachers and support teachers are often overlooked because there appears to be no immediate need.
Students!
Believe it or not, the pilot method often leaves the question “Who is teaching the students?”
Sharing the Love
Summer Academies
IN TWO OR THREE COLUMNS
Teacher Center
Funded the initiative by offering to pay the instructors and offering inservice credits for trainings
Four District
Directors from the Quad Village area worked together to create a robust course catalogue for all quad teachers to attend.
Participants
From the first quad village became instructors over the next summer to offer more courses for the area’s teachers.
Going All-In
Investing in a position or consultant for systemic change

Internal Portal
The most Google adapted districts that I work with have administrators who run their buildings on Google Classroom.
Using this template greatly streamlined my observation process. I scribed it then used voice recognition to enter my notes
Sample First Slides Lessons
Works at all levels, just adjust complexity. Students can use research toolbar for images. All students have edit access.
Learning how to effectively grade digitally is as important for students as it is the teacher.
Google Drawings can be used for any number of templates to help students and teachers get a start on a digital classroom.

#Incentives
Incentives
Device #Swag
If at all possible giving a device is a wonderful incentive. Give guidelines for carts please.
Curriculum Pay
Realize that this is ongoing and continued work. Innovation is a messy and time consuming business.
Inservice Credit
Consider offering a Google Teachers Academy or incentive for getting certified, but not punishing those who don’t.
May the odds..
Most Importantly
“What if we give our teachers permission to innovate wildly?”
