Topic #1: Briefly share any experiences you’ve had when you’ve had a part in introducing a new program or a new way to do things at your job site. Please share any triumphs or frustrations you’ve had trying to improve the system or when you’ve pioneered or piloted some outside the norm.
I was lead teacher for our school Enhancing Education Through Technology (E2T2) Grant. The grant was put in place to provide new technology equipment and training for our core subjects’ teachers (English, Math, Science and History) in grades 9-12. Getting the equipment was fun but implementing the use of it was a struggle. The veteran teachers were use to their way of teaching and were not up for something new. We hire a tech facilitator to help ease some of the discomfort. We had extensive and on-going professional development to ensure that each teacher was properly trained. Eventually all the teachers ready a certain level of comfort and begin incorporate technology into their daily routine.
