Technology Training for Teachers
Warrensburg School District
"T" to the 3rd Power!
The T3 program is a model for effective professional development that focuses on integrating technology within the existing curriculum. Students, parents, teachers, and administrators have come to expect technology integration in the classroom as a component of quality education, and new teachers to the district are required to attend a specific number of training sessions to meet this expectation.
Based on the district's Instructional Technology Performance Benchmarks for Teachers and inspired by ISTE's National Technology Standards for Educators, this is an extensive professional development program for all new teachers to the district. Participants attend a series of workshops focusing on technology skills and how technology can support authentic learning as well as integrating technology into the curriculum, with a plan for designing and implementing technology-infused activities with students.
