Application

For the Coaching program to be effective in reaching its goals of seeing technology used effectively in every classroom, we recommend schools and districts make a long term investment in coaching in a way that will help them realize their staff development goals. Such models would be sustainable beyond the life of the training. Schools and districts may find that reallocation of existing resources will be necessary to insure the coaching model they choose to adopt will be successfully implemented. Suggestions would be:

• Mentoring for coaches (e.g., district IT staff)
• Release time for coaches
• Release time for collaborating teachers
• Time for coaches and collaborating teachers to meet
• Appropriate classroom equipment for coaches
• Key building administrator participation in at least one follow-up meeting
• Access to training facilities
• Sufficient technical support

Project Requirements

The project requires:

• A valid e-mail account.
• Participation in the sharing of lesson plans and ideas.
• District commitment of resources which may include substitute time and technical support.
• Commitment to attend eight days of training (three days in summer).
