On-Site Support / In-Classroom Support

Our most effective offering is our In-Classroonm Support. Staff development is most effective when supported over time via follow-up on-site support that happens directly in the schools and classsrooms. The purpose of on-site and in-classroom support is to continue to guide teachers and educators in the application of strategies and knowledge gained in the seminars and workshops or other professional develompent programs.

In-classroom support focuses on encouraging the developmental learning and use of new media from a teaching professional's perspective. Individual sessions are tailored to meet specific school, teacher, and student needs. Workshop staff can provide support by:

• Modeling strategies for integrating new media into the classroom
• Modeling the use of technology in the classroom
• Co-teaching (i.e. assisting with implementing a new media project in the classroom)
• Assisting teachers with tracking down a hard-to-find resource
• Troubleshooting
• Hosting drop-in skill building clinics (click here for an example)
• Offering individual training and assistance with finding or using resources

Through our Partner School efforts, the majority of work we do is onsite or in the classroom. When working in a contractual arrangement through a Collaboration, a minimum of five on-site support days is recommended for each project.
