Sun Associates offers professional development that engages district teams around the development of program evaluations of instructional technology initiatives.
Many of the teams that engage in this training are piloting 1:1 computing initiatives, and therefore create evaluations that focus on the educational impact of devices such as iPads or laptop computers. The evaluation process that is the basis of our professional development program is one which works well as a basic program evaluation methodology for any number of educational projects. In fact, some teams use the methodology to conduct instructional technology audits. Sun Associates uses this methodology for our technology evaluation work as well as evaluations of various content-specific professional development projects.
You may also be interested in several presentations (MassCUE 2012 Annual Conference Presentation, MassCUE/METAA in March 2012 and the MassCUE Annual Conference in October 2011) we have done on specific implementations of this activity.
Please contact us for more information on how your district could benefit from this professional development program.
Typically, this training transpires over four days. Days 1 - 3 are ideally scheduled close together, while Day 4 is best done after a team has had the opportunity to collect data.
A variety of resources are provided to support the four-day training.
