Professional Development for Tech Use: new Pathways resource

[Jan Bakker <bakker@NCREL.ORG>]

The latest entry into the Pathways to School Improvement "Critical Issues"
series addresses the need for professional development in integrating
technology.  A well-planned, ongoing professional development program that
is addressed in the school's technology plan, tied to the school's
curriculum goals, designed with built-in evaluation, and sustained by
adequate financial and staff support is essential if teachers are to use
technology  to promote learning for all students in the classroom.

"Critical Issue:  Providing Professional Development for Effective
Technology Use" gives schools practical "action options" for planning and
implementing professional development for tech use and provides
"illustrative cases" of how some schools have established their programs.
The multimedia Critical Issue is available at:

Pathways to School Improvement is produced by NCREL, the North Central
Regional Educational Laboratory.
