Big Stuff to Consider

➡️  Do teachers have opportunities to develop skills for leveraging learning technologies in powerful ways?  What do they have and what do they need?

➡️  How are teachers incentivized to create and innovate their digital pedagogy?

➡️  What opportunities do we provide teachers to identify and select professional development that is tailored to their needs?

➡️  What feedback is needed to understand the degree of learning loss & how can we innovate our practice and ongoing assessments to mitigate future learning loss?

➡️  What resources exist that demonstrate the best evidence-based practices in digital learning?  What does Londonderry School District need to procure and create?

➡️  What feedback can be gathered to determine what is – or is not – working for our teachers?

➡️  How will we establish an ongoing system to acquire feedback from teachers to assess professional learning across the district’s five school buildings?

➡️  Should we have regular ‘ET’ department meetings? (ET= EdTech)
