How can technology drive changes in teaching and learning at my school? Learn About: The Georgia INtegrated TECHnology Professional Development Framework The Georgia Department of Education Regional Educational Technology Training Centers are pleased to announce the on-going development of a Georgia INtegrated TECHnology Professional Development Framework document that outlines goals, objectives and performance indicators for integrating uses of technology tools and resources in the K-12 curriculum. The Framework has been developed after a thorough inspection of research and literature on effective technology professional development practices. The technology skills are built on standards developed for ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) and adopted by NCATE (National Council for Accreditation of Teachers of Education). Georgia's Quality Core Curriculum is the basis for all technology-connected lessons and lesson planning activities. The Framework includes three Modules: Classroom Technology, Technology Support and Administrative Technology. It is also based on two successful training models developed, implemented and evaluated by DOE Regional Educational Technology Training Centers (ETTC's). The Classroom Technology Module Phase I InTech is an highly structured, 100 hour, DOE Staff Development Program. InTech provides many examples of effective technology-based strategies that support and enhance curriculum and can provide a catalyst for fundamental change in overall teaching and learning processes. One of the strengths of the program is peer-instructor modeling of technology-connected lessons. Developing skills in "Five Critical Areas" characterize this integrated training approach: (1) modern technology skills, (2) classroom management techniques, (3) new designs for learning, (4) best pedagogical practices and (5) curriculum standards. InTech teams of teachers learn basic technology skills while focusing on project-based activities that use Georgia's Quality Core Curriculum. Every school in Georgia has been invited to complete a DOE application for the intensive twelve-day InTech program. Initial training is a five-day period with two follow-up days. After planning and implementing technology-connected lessons in their own classrooms, each school team returns for five days of additional training lncludinq materials that enable them to become the redelivery model teachers for their peers. DOE and DOE Regional ETTC's will coordinate the on-going training of trainers and the publishing of technologyconnected lesson plans. Support for this training will make extensive use of the Georgia distance education networks, Peachnet, PeachStar and GSAMS. The Classroom Technology Module Phases II and III Innovation and tnfuston- provide a broad "menu" of five to fifteen-hour training sessions with in-depth curriculum and technology skill training for educators' to develop selected areas of expertise. Training sessions continue to emphasize the development of skills in the in "Five Critical Areas", while focusing on school improvement. The Technology Support Module and the Administrative Technology Module provide specific skills training using applications for productivity, reporting, student information and school budgets, LAN and WAN management, as well as intensive training with Classroom Technology Module objectives and tools for evaluating the uses of technology in K-12 classrooms.
