That administrator will observe the teacher implementing the lesson and sign off on the final requirement. These are hours that are paid to the teachers above and beyond salary. Teachers who feel they can complete a portfolio requirement may attend any TLT class and do so without staying for the entire class. The time required for that teacher to complete the portfolio item will count towards the teacher's 10 hours of technology training. Each teacher will receive a certificate on-site documenting hours in TLT or PDS workshops.
Teachers are aware of the deadline for completing their competencies.
It is up to the teachers to plan accordingly for obtaining training and completing the portfolio. It is expected that the TLTs will schedule training opportunities in the building according to the needs of the teachers in that building.

Web pages that are created to meet the portfolio requirements need only be printed and saved to disk.
