Vision: Our campus will be exemplary campus where classrooms are student-centered and technology-rich with elements of H.E.A.T. obvious.... ​ where teachers display knowledge and use of technology in their lesson preparation

tk - I'll take the lead of the vision. I have a couple of ideas to share. Please bring ideas. pr - Everyone please jot down their ideas for a vision prior to the meeting and we will combine our ideas

Objective: Develop quality training to improve the integration and use of technology Facilitator - Since you are well-liked and respected, I think you should be the facilitator of your own meeting. Phyllis

Activities: If your teachers are looking at the STaR Chart, perhaps they should brainstorm ways to move up from a lower level. What would that look like in the classroom? How much time would have to be spent in preparation?

CP: I like the emphasis on "student-centered learning." This is not a teacher using technology to engage students. This is about students using technology to show and obtain knowledge. In discussion of the STaR Chart, not only discuss where the school rates, but also where they rate personally. Possibly use the Technology Inventory. For discussion about prep time, discuss time-savers, tweaking other projects and not reinventing the wheel. pr - finalize vision - have an agreed shared vision - 10 minutes - set timeline for implementing student-centered, technology-rich lessons into the classroom - to determine realistic time frame for implementing lesson giving teachers time to design, practice, and implement - 15 minutes - Examine data, - committee members take Technology Inventory for self reflection and use results to plan - 15 minutes; STaR Chart - Teaching and Learning and Educator Preparation and Development key areas. How will we use this data to move from a teacher-centered to a student-centered classroom - 20 minutes

tk - When looking at STaR Chart data, consider the Teaching & Learning key area as well as Educator Preparation and Development key area. Our teachers are at extreme levels on this campus. Consider dividing our teachers into 3 groups; Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced. When planning our training, we need to consider the needs of all teachers at all levels. Assessing specific needs by teacher and/or departments

pr - Divide teachers into groups to mirror the STaR Chart



3:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
**Purpose:** To develop online training for our campus teachers so that they are effectively integrating technology as it is part of the learning process. With teacher participation in training, they will make gains on the STaR Chart in the key area of Teaching and Learning.
