There are 5: ;lementary Schools in Chatham County. One teacher from Kindergarten and one

from %irst &rade from each school will attend the day long training. 6t will ta+e place on a Staff

Planning #ay, so there will not be a need for substitutes. The teachers that attend the training will

be e'pected to return to their schools to redeliver training to their individual teams. The *4

teachers will be bro+en into four groups, resulting in -< teachers per training. Teachers will first

learn, and become proficient in setting up iPads to use for instruction. They will then be taught

how to use the iPads for differentiated instruction. Compass )earning 0)earning Odyssey1 will

be set up on each iPad and the teachers will learn how to access the application on the iPads. The

teachers will then be introduced to #oceri, an app that allows the iPad to control a computer to

use for to pro/ect on the Promethean Board. #oceri can also be used to record lessons for

students that may have missed the instruction. The teachers will then be introduced to five apps

e'plore the iPads and new apps that have been introduced to them. They will also be given time

Evaluation Plan

To evaluate the effectiveness of the training, the attendees will be given an immediate survey at

the end of the Professional #evelopment session, this will allow us to measure the teachers

reactions to the presentation. follow up email will be sent out to attendees to survey them on

how often they are using their iPads in the classrooms and how they are using them. This will

help us measure the Transfer level of Kir+patric+>s )evels Of ;valuation.

This training does not re=uire any iPad purchases because all teachers already have $ ipads for

classroom use. The teachers will need an pple Store gift card in order to purchase the necessary

apps for the training. This allows them to purchase the apps that are included in the training and

also gives them some e'tra to purchase any apps that they would li+e to. #ue to the ability to

share apps, the teachers can share the apps with their colleagues so only one ?! gift card would

be needed for an entire grade level. stipend is also being paid to the teachers that are leading

the sessions. There will be four sessions and each teacher will receive ?-!!.
