2. Kristen Worden Principal at Chappell Elementary in Green Bay- 4 years Associate Principal at Lombardi Middle School in Green Bay- 4 years Taught 5th/6th grade at Elmbrook School District for 6 years 3. Angela Steinbach Library Media Specialist/ Technology Coach at Chappell Elementary in Green Bay- 4 years Music Specialist in Green Bay- 6 years Music Specialist in Cresco, Iowa- 1 year 4. Chappell Elementary School Title 1 School-wide building 286 Students EC/4K 5th grade 76% free/reduced 60% White 14% Black 13% Asian/Pacific Islander 8% Hispanic 6% American Indian/Alaskan Native 5. What technology is available? The building is wireless Every classroom has: Elmo document camera, projection system, dvd/vcr unit, speaker system Each teacher has a digital camera Class set of iPod touches available 4 Renaissance Response Clickers available Class set of flip video cameras available 3rd-5th grade have a 1:1 laptop program 2nd grade is working towards a 1:2 laptop program 6. What software do we use? All students have used PhotoStory All students have created Green Screen Projects we use Adobe software to edit All students know how to transfer pictures 3rd-5th grade know how to manage folders, import images, understand technical terms 3rd-5th grade know how to create power point, word documents and excel spreadsheets All teachers have their own blogs 7. Our Journey 2 years ago we were able to purchase the common items for every classroom We contracted to have our building become wireless We created a plan on how to acquire more technology in future years 8. How did we get 100% buy-in? The power at Chappell is that 100% of the staff buy-in to the new technology and have worked very hard to integrate the technology into all that they do When the elmos, etc came for classrooms we removed ALL overhead projectors and TV carts from the building this was difficult and put several teachers on edge We spent professional development time to learn how to operate the new systems, create lessons and share with colleagues At each staff meeting we continued to share our successes with the new technology and some share new and creative ways to use technology As we integrated flip video cameras, more digital cameras, iPod touches, and response clickers we assigned go-to people for each device. These teachers became the teacher leaders for that specific technology. This helped to build confidence and capacity in the building Addition of a 60% technology coach to trouble shoot and coach teachers 9. Professional Learning What does the Green Bay model look like? We have 7 late starts during the school year the technology coach works with K-2 staff while the 3-5 staff work with the literacy coach and then we rotate the next late start At the start of every staff training we look at our blogs and update them and learn/share new ideas on how to integrate more Teacher leaders hold after-school sessions on topics: PhotoStory, Green Screen, Audacity We embed as much of the professional learning as possible so that ALL staff are trained The technology coach trains secretaries, paraprofessionals and other support staff on basic file management Our goal is to move ALL staff forward from where they are at 10. Role of Technology and Big 6 Coach To enhance technology skills of every staff member The coach also takes groups of students that are at grade level or above to integrate literacy and technology. This allows time for the regular ed teacher to double dip students that are not at level The coach leads a podcasting group Chappell Chatters She models lessons for staff and then follows a gradual release model back to the classroom teacher Big 6 coordinator/coach 11.
