Due November 12, 2019: Model and Professional Development Blog Post

Here’s your chance to outline the perfect professional development. Keeping in mind the standards for professional learning, Harris’s models and your own model for technology integration, write a letter addressed to your faculty describing the way you will approach educational technology professional development over the course of the school year. How will you incorporate formal and informal learning? What expectations will be built around the PD? How will you support teacher learning and risk taking? This goes beyond individual workshops to the larger scope and theme of the learning. You can include details about specific workshops but this is more about the general timeline and types of activities.

Be sure to embed your model and describe how it relates to the learning that will be done. Draft models are due October 8, 2019. The final blog post (no more than 500 words) is due: November 12, 2019.
