Model Schools

The Model Schools Program offers comprehensive support to assist districts in effectively integrating technology into instruction. Model Schools Coordinators assist districts in their efforts to use technology as a tool to improve student learning and achievement. Through the Model Schools Program, administrators and teachers can participate in regional workshops, webinars and online workshops. Model Schools Coordinators also design and implement in-district training customized to the district’s individual technology and instructional initiatives. In addition to face-to-face support, Model Schools offers virtual assistance, providing just-in-time live chat and screen sharing support. Assistance with technology planning is also provided. 

Please adhere to the following criteria for district-hosted workshops:

• Representatives from multiple districts must be able to register for the training.
• A minimum of one-third (1/3) of the seats must be reserved for out-of-district participants.
• The identified training site must have the software and hardware necessary to accommodate all participants.
