What Professional Learning Should Look Like At our Campuses
?>
Effective PL encompasses these things:
1. Learning community/collaboration
2. Continuous Coaching
3. Modeling of Best Practices
4. Availability at any time through a variety of delivery systems
5. Integrated and aligned with district and campus standards and goals
The Instructional Technology Team has adopted these beliefs concerning Professional Learning this coming year. With these in mind I would like for each of my campuses to adopt along with me these beliefs as we step into teaching ourselves and the students the 21st Century Skills that we all need to be successful and a contributing part of the global world in which we live. When we think about the technology learning needs lets continuously keep before us these beliefs.
I look forward to pushing forward in this new school year with you and your students.
I applaud your proactive ideas regarding changing the way we use technology learning with both students and staff. The beliefs that you listed are really what everyone who teaches should do. I know that you and the other ITs will be the trailblazers who move us into the 21st Century learning that is so vital to students. Please let me know how the C & I staff can work with you guys to totally imbed technology seamlessly into the curriculum of each content area.
We look forward to working with C&I !
