STaR chart

The lowest and weakest area for our campus is key are II: Educator Preparation and Development. We have continued in the developing technology range throughout the past three years. It looks like the state is at the same level my campus is at. This area is dealing with professional development experiences, models of professional development, capabilities of educators, access to professional development, levels of understanding and patterns of use, and professional development for online learning. We have gained a point from 2006-2007 to 2007-2008 in the areas of access to professional development and professional development for online learning. I think this is because we have had some professional. Personally I do not think we have had enough. We have one day or 1/2 day shots at technology instruction, but nothing ever gets followed up. We get great information, but no follow through and it usually is not used and then lost. We have got to have continuous training throughout the year(s). I would also like to see us use online training. I think my coworkers would be willing to spend time learning on thier own as to sitting in a workshop for 8 hours. We have not really been given this opportunity to learn this way.
