VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:

Mike: Hi, Mike Reading here from www.usingtechnologybetter.com. In today’s video I want to give you one tip that will help maximize the professional development that you receive as a school.

Schools sometimes take two different approaches to their professional development. One approach is incredibly effective and one leaves teachers inspired but overwhelmed and ultimately they don’t implement anything.

Here’s the difference.

Some schools go for just in case learning. This type of learning is where you get someone to provide some professional development for you and show them a range of tools, just in case they may need to use that down the track or just in case they may be interested in it.

That type of training is really ineffective because it can be engaging and inspiring but it doesn’t clearly show the teachers what they need to do next to be successful with technology in the classroom.

The type of training that works really well is the type of training called just in time training.

This is where we sit down with you as a school and look at where you are right now and where you would like to be and we devise a plan that will clearly layout the next steps that you need to take.

Now we don’t give the teachers everything about every tool, what we do give them I just the right tool at the right time to make them feel successful with their technology use, but also to shift your school culture just one step forward.

So this year you might be wondering, how can you finish off your year well? Or you might be planning your professional development for next year. So my advice would be to have a look at some of our trainers and then choose the best type of training that will take your school to the next level.
