The professional development plan involves several steps:
1) Administering an online survey to teachers to determine skill levels with technology and how it could be used in classrooms.
2) Developing a calendar of online courses over the summer for teachers to develop skills based on survey results.
3) Participating in online courses and trainings offered through the district and developing software trainings specific to content areas.
