School Plan: Chadwick ES BCPS Summer 2013 CPD Rodgers Forge PM Charles Gagliano
Rationale: I will be the new Technology Integration Teacher at Chadwick ES for the 2013-2014 school year. My school plan will provide a flexible guideline for presenting topics and resources that support the effective use of UDL principles.
August 2013 Conduct a Teacher Needs Assessment (TNA) via Survey Monkey. This will provide baseline data for conducting school-wide, grade-specific, and/or individual PD. I will work with the school’s administration and the School Progress Team (SPT) to determine when the information will be delivered, most likely once a month during a faculty meeting. Other opportunities include on-site teacher PD days.
