Training Flyers  (PDF Doc)  (Word Doc)
 

The i3 professional development program immerses  educators 

in a 24-hour, hands-on training that models successful 

curriculum & technology integration in the secondary Social 

Studies classroom.  The training facilitates change in the 

individual educator's instruction methods and their classroom

design, resulting in greater student achievement.

Participants journey with their facilitators through multiple technology-infused lessons, focusing first on curriculum standards, and second, on technology integration strategies where the focus is on becoming comfortable with technical skills.  Educators participate in technology-infused lessons where classroom management strategies and best-practice teaching designs are modeled and practiced. Teachers read and discover educational pedagogy, leading to a realization of the need for change. This journey brings a focus on curriculum integration while proficiency with productivity software, web based curriculum resources, electronic literature, email and multimedia resources is built.
