Sometimes being able to reveal one's shortcomings to trusted friends enables a person to take the necessary steps to gain competence in technology. Tuition assistance is provided as well. Needs which emerge from needs assessments drive the choices for classes which are offered. Dabney S. Lancaster Community College has delivered two wonderful educators' training sessions during the last two summers. We have had more than 50 teachers in each session.
Individual teachers receive tuition assistance when they find a course which they want to take.
Each summer we sponsor several short-term workshops to meet teachers' needs for training and other teachers' needs to share their expertise. The Technology Advisory Committee meets monthly. Constant monitoring of our plan helps us to reach goals or to determine that another goal is more feasible for us. The Technology Committee is representative of all schools. The committee serves as a conduit by which all personnel are represented at meetings.
