Planning Examples
• Conference day to train a building• Technology to support special education• Websites• Training for a grant• Partner with another initiative• Support specific programs• Support specific grade level or curriculum
initiatives
![Page 11: Using Model Schools Days Effectively Technology Leaders for the 21 st Century May 16, 2008](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1af87f8b9ab059982cb2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Time Frame• Use the spring to identify your goals and
needs for the following year• Attend the BOCES information session
in May• Meet with your planner – the earlier the
better!• Before summer break – identify TIF
participants and Regional Workshop participants
![Page 12: Using Model Schools Days Effectively Technology Leaders for the 21 st Century May 16, 2008](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1af87f8b9ab059982cb2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Tips• Start planning early• Build relationships with your planner and
trainer(s)• Don’t be afraid to ask for customized
courses to meet your objectives• Encourage administrators to “pop-in” on
training sessions• Half-day sessions can double the number
that get training• Two half day sessions a week or two apart
work well
![Page 13: Using Model Schools Days Effectively Technology Leaders for the 21 st Century May 16, 2008](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1af87f8b9ab059982cb2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
More Tips• Don’t be afraid to address issues that come up –
survey participants• Don’t forget to include administrators• Effective advertising / communication• Sometimes you need to “target” individuals or
groups• Monitor signups and sub situations so you can
cancel if necessary – 1 week notice required• DONT WASTE YOUR DAYS!!!• Tap into Regional Days for additional “free”
opportunities
![Page 14: Using Model Schools Days Effectively Technology Leaders for the 21 st Century May 16, 2008](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052606/5a4d1af87f8b9ab059982cb2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
I just can’t get subs!
Use BOCES trainers as:• Resource mentor to push in• Have trainers available during lunch and
planning periods• Offer training after school• Summer workshops• Last resort….Saturdays

What’s New in 2008-09• One Day Workshops• Targeted to specific grade/topic/subject
areas• Helps when there are individuals or
small groups that need training• Schedule available NOW!• District does not get charged a Model
Schools day until FIVE teachers have attended sessions.****
• Stay tuned for location announcements
