 * District Technology Training Plan for **
 * Fairbanks North Star Borough School District **

by: James Castleberry University of Maryland University College EDTC640 Dr. Barry Sponder 2 July, 2012

In 2011, Fairbanks North Star Borough School District outlined its commitment to providing the technology resources necessary to ensure that all teachers are fully equipped and trained, able to provide the highest quality education and published nine technology goals as part of the Educational Technology Plan. As a district with thirty-five schools, primary and secondary, the technology needs are varied, as are the resources currently available. Each teacher and administrator is assigned a Macbook laptop containing a basic package of programs as well as several additions specific to their content area. Math teachers, for example, have Geometer’s Sketchpad loaded on their laptops while music teachers have Finale on theirs. In addition, the district recently added over 250 SMARTboards in classrooms, has supplied document cameras and projectors to all classrooms, at least one computer lab in each school, and classroom sets of GPS units, Flip Video cameras, Mobis, iPod Touches, and laptops available at most schools for check out (FNSBSD 2011). Naturally, with the amount of technology available to teachers, there is a necessary training component. This District Technology Training Plan (DTTP) will address the continuing needs in the area of professional development regarding key facets of our technology spectrum.
 * Introduction: **

Many of the technologies the district has recently acquired are familiar to teachers, while other components are new and require some hands on training in order to truly be useful. The technology needs included in this document were based on results of a survey in which teachers were asked which programs or devices they would most benefit from training on. Using this information, as well as the results of several other surveys, including input from parents and students, this training plan was formulated in an effort to fill in training gaps that might exist. The training will take place over the course of a week at the beginning of the school year and will be available to all certified teaching professionals, including library and counseling staff, and will be conducted by local experts in various hardware and software, district IT personnel, and outside experts (FNSBSD 2011).


 * Background: **

In an effort to adequately address the training needs of the district, surveying was done, of both teachers and families, to measure several criteria. These surveys were in addition to the surveying done in 2009, with added emphasis on specific hardware and software. Of the 1010 teachers in the district, 762 took part in the survey regarding technology familiarity and 831 submitted the second part of the survey dealing with specific hardware and software. Teacher needs were varied, with 625 total teachers rating their overall technology skill level below “expert” level (see chart to the right). Vital programs, like the e-mail and grading programs, had sizeable populations who described themselves as “novice” users (320 and 221 users, respectively) (Castleberry TSL 2012). The district’s investment in SMART technology over the past two years prompted the additional survey question regarding skill level using the SMARTboard in their classroom. Disparities were noted in teachers who judged themselves “novice” and “intermediate” (613 total teachers) and “expert” users (89 teachers). As an integral piece of hardware within the district, proven to enhance learning in K-12 education (Manny-Ikan et al 2011), SMART technology is a key in the district’s commitment to [] providing adequate technology resources to teachers. Providing quality professional development in successfully employing this tool is a district priority, as will be apparent in the proposed schedule in this DTTP. Existing training and tutorials on the FNSBSD site (PowerSchool, Zimbra and SMART notebook) will be employed as a part of the training. This training is described as an introduction to the different programs, outlining the most basic functions, and was designed as a foot in the door for educator  <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">In addition to training on SMARTboards, e-mail, and PowerSchool, several other hardware and software applications were identified as needing additional training. Due to the amount of time in which to teach, and the limited number of available instructors, items flagged for professional development were prioritized and chosen based on need and maximum number of educators impacted. Complete results of all surveys conducted can be found in Appendix A of this DTTP.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Audience **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Fairbanks North Star Borough School District is fortunate to have so many experienced educators in its employ. As of this writing, 38% of our teachers have been teaching more than fifteen total years. Surveys conducted show that 53% have taken at least one class dealing with atechnology they can use in their classroom during the past two years. This shows that the teachers in this district are concerned with their current level of technology competency and are actively striving for improvement. Because 137 (18%) of the 762 who completed the survey identify themselves as “expert” level technology users, and 24% of users claim “expert” status on Zimbra e-mail, 17% “expert” on PowerTeacher, and 12% “expert” on SMARTboard, the opportunity exists for peer-tutoring in many of the beginner applications of these programs. In an effort to identify interested individuals an e-mail solicitation was sent out which was answered by 62 teachers who would volunteer their time during the mornings of the conference assisting the various instructors in the beginner classes. (Castleberry TD 2012)

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Age and experience can be both an advantage and a disadvantage in education. As educators progress in their fields they tend to develop a set of lessons and a format to their teaching. As technology advances and time passes some can be resistant to changing their lessons to include newer technologies (Berry 2009). FNSBSD, with 38% of its teachers having over 15 years experience, and 2% being over 50 years old, exhibits signs of normalcy in <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">this respect, with 1/5 of our teachers choosing not to participate in the technology surveys and roughly a third of the participants classifying themselves a “novice” in all categories of technology use. One goal of this DTTP is to combat these trends and encourage all teachers in the district to realize their maximum potential using technology in the classroom, which will, in turn, enable students to be more successful in their academic endeavors. (Castleberry TD 2012) ([])


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Goals **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Based on the results of the surveys conducted in 2009 and this year, the technology staff has developed five goals for this weeklong technology workshop. These goals are: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">1. Teachers will develop new skills and hone existing skills on a variety of technology options available to them in their respective schools. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">2. Teachers will increase their ability to communicate with parents and students through increased proficiency in Zimbra and PowerTeacher. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">3. Teachers will gain new awareness of and access to various free online resources that can be used in their classrooms. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">4. Teachers will learn how to empower their students to develop their online identities through use of social media in a safe classroom environment. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">5. Teachers will gain confidence in using new technology and learn ways to assist their colleagues who are apprehensive or resistant.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Content Offered **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">With those goals as a guide, and your technology training needs provided by the surveys, a comprehensive list of courses has been created for the workshop. Courses are available for different grade levels and varying technological experience levels in an effort to provide instruction that will aid the maximum number of teachers. Because our emphasis this year is on improvement of Zimbra, PowerTeacher, and SMART skills, three workshops have been created in the “core” category, two in the mornings and one in the afternoons, enabling teachers to attend every class in PowerTeacher and choose between Zimbra or SMART. Several additional workshops are offered at multiple times in an effort to make scheduling easier for teachers to attend meaningful training. Choose from the following courses, using the schedule provided in Appendix B, and fill in the blank daily schedule provided in Appendix C.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">This workshop was constructed using resources currently owned by the school district. IT Professionals have designed the lessons and will be instructing, saving the cost of bringing personnel up from the lower forty-eight. Professional development days from the beginning of the year, the end of each quarter, and the end of the year were consolidated in order to create this week-long block of time inside the current contract, ensuring that the attendance of teachers would be highly encouraged, yet would not render the training impossible, due to budgetary excesses. Various parent organizations have volunteered to supply coffee, hot water, tea, and pastries every morning in the Lathrop cafeteria. Total cost to the district has been minimized in an effort to provide additional justification for repeating this process in subsequent years.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">ACTIVITY 5: Break: Groups will take a ten minute break.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">ACTIVITY 6: First Exercise: Instructor will assign the first solo exercise, to be completed individually with the aid of the notes and experiences from the first half of the class. The Task will encompass all of the learning thus far and will be to design their dream classroom. Parameters set forth include: 20 students, either at tables or individual desks, one SMARTboard with projector placement, 1 teacher desk, and be labeled or color coded with a legend. Participants must be able to explain their reasoning behind the specific placement of furniture and other objects in the class. Participants MUST use all of the tools covered in the class thus far (items 4-8 above).

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">ACTIVITY 7: Sharing: Participants will share their designs with their small group members one at a time. During their sharing, members are encouraged to move the various pieces around the rooms to illustrate their opinions on possible changes they would make. This will give all participants an opportunity to feel what it is like to manipulate items on the board. Once all three members of a group have shared, they will disconnect from the board and place all cables beneath the projector on the cart. Instructors will travel to each group, observing the sharing, and checking for acquired knowledge.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">ACTIVITY 8: Recap/ Preview: Instructor will make sure all cables are properly stored. A short review lecture will be given, answering questions anyone may have regarding the exercise they just completed. A short summary will be presented on the skills that will be learned tomorrow. Participants are released.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">ASSESSMENT: Formative assessment occurs through question and answer and demonstration of new skills.
