Teacher Laptop Initiative (TLI)
The District believes that all teachers benefit from having fulltime access to their own laptop and that it is now something all teachers need
The District is supporting this initiative directly to help move us quickly to the point
where all teachers have a current laptop
The offer: cost share 35% (District) + 65% (School) to provide a new laptop to up to 1/3 of all teachers per year
Intent is to strive for equity
and quality
Intent is that this is in all schools for all teachers but to specifically encourage and support teachers
currently not engaged in using technology
Our Objectives
To support teacher's daily processes (researching, preparing, organizing, presenting, information access, connect with colleagues) including administrative efficiency and communication
To assist teachers in meeting diverse needs of 21st century learners such as exposing students to global perspectives, online information and tools, other students in other countries
To create flexibility through mobility - ability to work with students and review online work in the classroom
