Teacher+Training

At English Estates, I am the full time Technology Facilitator whose primary responsibility is to train teachers to use the technology we have at our school. I maintain our equipment and do everything I can to help the teachers integrate technology into their lessons. As part of that, I mentor them on good lesson design and incorporation of 21st century skills. We do this in a variety of ways:
 * **Tech Thursdays** - once or twice a month I have a voluntary training during planning time. This is usually covering a resource we have at school, a new technology I have discovered or a skill asked for by the teachers.
 * **Faculty meeting** - a few times during the year, a faculty meeting will be dedicated to something related to technology, 21st century skills or PBL.
 * **Peer Coaching model** - I have been trained in The [|Microsoft Peer Coaching] model and have 2 teachers each year that work one on one with me to bring more technology into their classrooms.
 * **On demand** - as needed I will work with teachers on a particular lesson or unit. I can plan with them, model lessons, or co-teach.

As I come up with ideas throughout the year, I will add them here. Please contribute your ideas, problems or solutions for training teachers to implement 21st century skills. You can contact me directly at lorie_lee@scps.us.
