It is the goal of the SD22 Technology Initiative to improve student learning. Our District follows Bernajean Porter's model of teaching and learning with technology. Porter's Technology Learning Spectrum is the foundation of the SD22 Technology Mentorship Program and Laptops for Teachers.
The District Technology Resource Teacher uses this model to help teachers use technology as at tool. Teachers are encouraged to take the curriculum already being taught in their class and introduce technology to enhance and improve the delivery and learning of that curriculum.
24 Teachers enroll in an intensive, 8 session Pro-D program where they learn how to use technology to improve the delivery of curriculum and improve student learning. Bernajean Porter's Technology Learning Spectrum and the BC Education Ministry's 6-9 Mentorship Program are the foundation for the course. Once teachers complete the course, they keep the laptop for school and personal use. After 3 years, the laptop is owned by the teacher.
After School Workshops
Workshops on specific applications are offered several times a year.
Computer Resource Teachers at every school to help with teaching with technology
The CRT is the foundation of the SD22 Technology Initiative. Not only are they on the front lines keeping everything running smoothly, they also mentor teachers and students in the use of technology in their studies.
CRTs are instrumental in organizing the very successful SD22 Technology Showcase.
.1 FTE is assigned to the CRT position at every elementary school and .125 FTE per lab is assigned to the CRT position at every secondary school
The District Technology Resource Teacher with the help of the Computer Resource Teachers presents a technology showcase where teachers and students show how they use technology to improve the delivery of curriculum and enhance student learning. The Showcase is an excellent way to share ideas throughout our District.
