We will improve the performance levels of educator's core technology skills, so that all educators will demonstrate an increase of one performance level as measured by the pre- and post- surveys as applicable to technology staff development y the end of the 2011-2012 school year with annual reviews of evidence.
 * Objective**:


 * Process/Timeline:**

1.1.a: Identify educators' core technology skills by ** April 2 (before Spring Break ** )


 * // Communicate the Teacher Proficiency Plan (Date?) // **
 * Who communicates? How?
 * Teachers communicate vs. "District Office"
 * Union Communication?
 * **// Message: //** Plan for next year, using tools for ITLS, standards that educators can meet to teach the ITLS comfortably
 * Assessment is the "test out option."

1.1.b: Conduct educator pre-survey of core technology skills and analyze results by June 2010 (delete??) 1.1.c: Develop a systemic professional development plan (to demonstrate skills (ie. test out) or gain the skills through staff development needed) for educators' core competencies ** by May 15 **
 * Do we need a survey?

1.1.d: Develop formal training opportunities in the core educator competencies in a variety of formats such as : online; after-school, wikis, podcasts; summer sessions; Franklin and grad credit courses; release days; continue and increase the frequency of Tech Tool Time **by August 2010**
 * work with admins for scheduling concerns: specialists, and Thursday PLC's to make sure training dates work in the schedule
 * Pick days by building so it's known that PV Tech day is "Tues," and SWG is Wed, etc
 * Training should be done during school hours, unless there is compensation for the attenders. JS

1.1.e: Establish a Go-To system to provide just-in-time informal support network for teachers' core educator competencies by August 2010
 * Build in "trainers" as those teachers that are more skilled to help others. Incentives?

1.1.f: Conduct educator post-survey of core technology skills and analyze results by June 2011
