Schools to NOT email again: Cherrybrook, Gateshead Next time: include link to website AND link to survey! Attached the ICT and Maths - general package Dear Principal, In a letter sent to your school in recent weeks, we outlined the Professional Development services StepUp consultants offer schools. In subsequent communication with some principals, we realised further clarification was needed. Our primary aim and area of expertise is providing knowledgeable, effective and sustainable teacher professional learning sessions which focus on improving teacher practice, especially integrating ICT into the curriculum. All our consultants are teachers, who not only have a wealth of experience and expertise with ICT in the K-6 educational environment, but who are also recognised as leading educators. We will liaise with you or your executive staff, discuss the needs of classroom teachers, teacher’s aides and other staff and tailor a PD package which will have the desired learning outcomes for all participants. To give you an indication of our services, I have attached an example of one of our packages. Other services we provide include: Is there anything that has been frustrating you or your staff which relates to computer use? Have you isolated a specific area of weakness or need in your school’s curriculum and require advice on strategies for change? Do some of your teachers need support and encouragement to embrace or utilise the software you have in your school or have recently purchased? Why not drop us an email or ring on 0402 095 804 to see what support we can offer. Cheers, Lee StepUp - educational technology consultants Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.
