I am a K-4 Technology Specialist, seeing grade 2-4 classes an hour a =
week, 1st grades 1 hour every other week and Kindergarteners in half =
classes for =BD hour a week. During that time I engage our students in =
activities that are tied to their curricular units and Graland's =
Standards of Understanding. Information literacy and technology skill =
development is an intentional and embedded part of the lab experience.=20

I was hired to help Graland create a strategic plan for technology. =
Thanks to those of you who graciously shared your plans and ideas with =
our team last year! The strategic plan is becoming a reality and our =
process towards true technology integration is moving along. =20

My question: Do you have any suggestions as to how we can transition our =

coaching/mentoring integrative model? Thank you in advance for your help
