Person Responsible

Purpose Description Steps Estimated Time

Campus Specialist

To ensure the proper accountability and support for implementing technology in curriculum design.

The campus specialist will meet with individual teachers to reflect upon their experience with Phase 1 and 2 of the Educator Preparation and Development Plan.

Eventually, team teachers will perform this co-teach assist with each other in order to both facilitate a reasonable support structure in terms of time and personnel, as well as to become more self-supportive as a team that co-learns together

1. The campus specialist will meet with academic teams and individual teachers to discuss the implementation of phases 1 and 2 of the technology plan

2. The campus specialist will co-teach with some or all of the team teachers in order to provide ongoing support and a smooth implementation of technology

3. Team teachers will continue to support one another as well as co-teach one another in order to become more self-sufficient and team supportive in the preparation and development process.
