PILOT Assessment Site


PILOT is an online, self-assessment tool for educators to determine their levels of technology proficiency and classroom application. Charts can be displayed showing the overall level for teachers at a school site as well as within a district, region, or for the entire state. And it is a tool for districts to use with their staff to plan their professional development efforts.

How PILOT Can be Used:

  • Individual self-assessment
  • Building or district
    • Professional development program
    • A tool to articulate need
  • Workshop instructors
    • Pre- and post-assessments

The steps for using PILOT are simple:

  1. Create a new account by choosing the region where you live, and following the prompts
    These accounts are anonymous and a user’s email will not shared with anyone. It is used only to send the user registration information.
  2. Fill out the survey.
    • The Survey is broken into several sections, which need not be completed all at once. They allow you to self-assess on a variety of skill categories.
    • Note: Individual responses will be available only to the user. They may be used in aggregate by authorized users, and state educational leaders will only use them as a general indicator of the growth in technology literacy of the state's teachers.
  3. View survey results
    • Here a user can see survey results, detailed information, and growth over time.
  4. View Reports
    • This allows for viewing aggregate results for a building or for the entire state. Administrators may request permissions from the regional ETSC Director for district aggregate reports.

The Wax Museum

The Wax Museum

At Lewis and Clark Middle School in Yakima, WA several teachers met six years ago and decided that they would like to have a culminating project for 8th grade social studies classes. Thus the wax museum project was born. Eric Franz, a special education teacher and participant in the Peer Coaching program, has been the leader of this project since its inception.
