  • Create technology-integrated curriculum across the subject areas

  • Foster Collaboration and a Culture of Innovation
  • Utilize ongoing assessment to differentiate instruction accordingly.


PHASE 3: SUSTAIN
 
Continue to Build Capacity in Your Learning Community with Powerful Online and Onsite Extensions:

  • Online Professional Learning Communities keep the professional dialogue going, encourage collaboration and build a repository of best practices.
  • Innovation Forums, onsite or remote, showcase model schools/classrooms/educators.
  • Educational Technology Workshop Series―monthly workshops highlight hot topics and create interest groups around trends in Educational Technology.

 
PHASE 4:  REVIEW, REFLECT, MONITOR, & REVISE
 
Ongoing evaluation ensures the quality of work and supports adjustments to meet your ongoing needs.   To make recommendations for continued improvement, Digital School Solutions reviews consultancy work through daily work logs, mid-year, and end-of-year reports.
 
Our focus is to provide professional learning across the school community to realize instructional, curriculum, and often, systemic changes. Our work is designed to improve the effectiveness of teaching by improving instructional practices. Therefore, we are committed to ensuring our work has both an immediate and long-term impact. Our approach is not about the 'quick-fix', it is about building capacity and laying a solid foundation on which schools can continue to build in the future.
