Model Schools Program

The Model Schools Program (MSP) assists school districts in setting their individual goals toward instructional technology integration by facilitating customized technology and curriculum planning for school improvement.
 
The MSP offers professional development for districts to support these plans through research-based strategies for the 21st century learner.
 

In addition to offering a wide array of in-person professional development sessions on topics related to educational technology, the Model Schools Program has worked to build a number of online, asynchronous courses. These courses can be completed at your convenience and allows one the ability to tailor their professional learning needs to their personal needs. All listed mini-courses are free to any teachers at one of our region's schools.
