Professional+Development+and+Support

Faculty and Staff would need training on how to use the document camera and projector. Using one of our school inservice days early in the year would help teachers learn how to use the equipment. Throughout the year, other school inservice days should be used to give teachers ideas for lessons or uses of the equipment (Share Day). For these days, teachers should be grouped according to grade level since different grades have different uses and lessons to share.

**Proposed Schedule for Training and Support**

 **September 14th** - Introduction to the Document Camera and Projector (This day will be used to explain how the equipment works, what to do in case there is a problem with the equipment, and how to care for the equipment.)

 The following dates are scheduled inservice days for the county that should be used for grade level meetings.  **November 2** - Share Day  **January 31** - Share Day

**April 20** (1/2 day) - This day should be used to evaluate teacher use of the equipment and gain feedback about how the equipment worked and/or helped support lessons.

__**Short Term Goals **__ *Teachers will meet at the beginning of the school year to learn how to use and care for the equipment. Examples of lessons using the projector and document camera will be given. *Teachers will be observed (informally) using the equipment by the administrators monthly. *Teachers will meet on two separate inservice days to discuss ways to use the equipment. (how to incorporate it into lessons, classroom activities) *The librarian and county technology professionals will be available to help with troubleshooting and answer questions about the equipment.

**__Long Term Goals__** *By the end of the school year, all teachers will be using the document camera and projector regularly in the classroom to support higher academic achievement. *Teachers will incorporate the document camera and projector into lesson plans on a daily basis.
