A leadership cadre, comprised of 14 district and building administrators and educational leaders, 5 curriculum coordinators, and 25 core subject area teachers that will become teacher leaders will participate in leadership training and professional development. The leadership cadre will build the foundation for change by developing strategic plans, policies, and procedures that will support systematic training of teachers in the effective use of educational technology. Curriculum coordinators and teacher leaders will participate in additional leadership training, targeted professional development, mentoring through PLCs, and individualized coaching that will increase their capacity to transition into training/coaching roles to support the implementation of new practices by classroom teachers.

Teacher leaders and curriculum coordinators will receive ongoing support of their scaffolded transition into training/coaching roles. Programming will expand to include 30 core subject teachers in year 2 and 60 additional core subject area classroom teachers in year 3 that will be trained to implement technology-infused educational practices that will increase engagement, facilitate learning through different mediums, create student-centric classrooms, and develop students’ 21st century skills.
