MLTI Teacher Leader 2008-09
As presented at the Fall Leadership meetings, the MLTI Team is committed to support the integration of educational technology in MLTI schools through two models: Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK) and Substitution Augmentation Modification Redefinition (SAMR).
We believe that these are useful and powerful models for guiding effective teaching and learning in the 21st Century. As an MLTI Teacher Leader, you have an opportunity to examine the role of these models in your own school’s goals, initiatives, and professional development priorities.
As outlined in this year’s Teacher Leader Agreement Form, your participation in an online workshop is a requirement for qualifying for the MLTI Teacher Leader stipend. MLTI Staff have developed a four-week capacity-building professional development program.
The outcomes of the workshop are that participants will:
-
identify the characteristics of an effective teacher leader;
-
understand the concepts of the TPCK and SAMR models and be able support the implementation of these models in their buildings;
-
develop a handbook to be used as a tool for their management and organization of policies, professional development opportunities, communication, meeting notes, and other activities and resources related to the MLTI Teacher Leader position (an "MLTI Teacher Leader Handbook"); and
-
reflect on the materials collected in the Handbook, and set goals for future progress
The workshop will be delivered entirely online via Studywiz. You should plan to spend between two and four hours per week on activities and discussions. The workshop is designed to be asynchronous, meaning that you are not expected to be online at the same time as other participants. It will be important, however, to complete the activities and participate in discussions on a weekly basis. Building a human network of support for teacher leadership is an aim of the workshop, and your timely and active participation will be needed. Logging in to the workshop two or three times per week is recommended.
Please complete the online registration, in which you will be able to select from three 4-week sessions between February 25 and April 14 (all sessions begin on a Wednesday and end on a Tuesday). Workshop Sessions:
-
Session A: Feb 25 - March 24
