Goal We will implement a training model that will move us along a continuum from non-users to sophisticated integrators and appliers of technology throughout our learning community. Team Members Marc Berezin, Mt. View / Special Services Laura Craig, Anchor Point Dawn Daris, Instructional Technology Office Wayne Lee, Homer High Jim Legner, North Star Sarah Noble, Student Soldotna High Barbara Ralston, Sears Mo Sanders, Title I Eric Soderquist, Student, Soldotna High Phil Biggs, KPBSD W For each identified skill strand, we have identified skills which, when all have been mastered, will bring a person to an advanced user level. These skills are then broken down into workshops which provide training to a set level of use. People with a wide variety of skills will have opportunities to learn from the ground up, or they can pick and choose to fill in the gaps. In the initial stages of staff development for technology, we have outlined the skills which would be covered in each of the workshops, an expected time frame in which the training should occur, and a product (in some cases products) a person should be expected to create at the end of the workshop. This makes it easy for staff members, regardless of their current proficiency, to quickly and easily identify workshops which are most appropriate for them. We will know we have successfully achieved this goal when our teachers are confident technology users in their everyday life and have a good understanding of when and how to apply appropriate tools to the various learning tasks that take place from day to day in the classroom.

Schools Examine Test Data to Guide Plans for What to Teach Suzanne (Sukey) Blanc and Jolley Bruce Christman School District moves toward 'data-driven decision-making,' but it's a challenging process. On September 3, when Philadelphia kids were out shopping for back-to-school clothes or enjoying one of their last days for sleeping in, teachers and principals were closely examining last spring's PSSA and Terra Nova results as they worked on developing instructional goals and plans for the upcoming year. There is great enthusiasm in Philadelphia and in districts across the country now for "data-driven decision-making" - using the information from assessments of student learning to guide plans for what to teach and how to teach it. The core curriculum has been aligned with state standards in different content areas, and the mandated tests are aligned to measure how well students are mastering those standards. The notion of using data for instructional improvement has an appealingly logical quality to it: educators get data, educators examine data to see where their students are strong and weak, and educators modify what and how they teach so that students learn more.

58. Teaching The Teachers Just watch how elementary school children pick up new computer applications The plans should be competencydriven, requiring teachers to demonstrate http://www.electronic-school.com/0398f1.html

T he digital generation gap is alive and well in most schools. Just watch how elementary school children pick up new computer applications without batting an eye, while their teachers struggle with the basics of point-and-click. We might as well admit it: Adults have a much harder time learning computer skills than children do. Kids have grown up in a wired world, their computer proficiency often acquired through years of "technoplay" with Nintendo and video games on Macs and PCs. Students also have the benefit of malleable neurological pathways that allow their minds to acquire new skills more quickly. Whatever the cause, it is clear that teachers indeed, most adults have a much more difficult time figuring out how to use a computer effectively than the average 10-year-old does. This digital generation gap has serious consequences for schools. Indeed, I would argue that the biggest obstacle to the implementation of technology in education isn't a lack of hardware, but rather the fact that many teachers aren't ready to use computers in the classroom. National statistics have shown that teachers receive far less on-the-job training in technology than any other professional group. The business community knows that for every dollar spent on hardware and software, another dollar must go toward staff development. But on average, school districts spend only about 5 percent of their technology budget on teacher training.

The network of international schools is well connected, and once a fledgling teacher is hired it is easier to obtain a future position. Upon completing a stay at a foreign school, you may choose to simply remain at your current school or continue teaching at another international school around the world. Choosing the right interviews at the right times, knowing which schools offer the best packages and best contracts is a tricky business. Knowing which schools are situated in the best locations is also a challenge. Getting hired may mean four days of this process, sometimes with double digit interviews. Administrators always have several candidates in mind at the job fair and need a decision from you before they leave for the next stop. The carnival continues. Preliminary Research When first considering an international position it is important to do some preliminary research and self-exploration. Consider the locations, salary, and size of schools. The better prepared you are on entering a conference, the more confidence you will bring to your interviews.
