Training Cadre

According to national surveys less than half of all teachers rate themselves at a level of instructional proficiency in technology. That is, they do not feel comfortable teaching the skills necessary to integrate technology into their lessons.

In order to help alleviate this problem, the Vision 4 The Future Consortium has written a plan to continue and extend staff development for teachers. The plan provides for technology integration training for a Trainig Cadre composed of 6-7 teachers recruited from throughout LAUSD to develop a professional development model to improve the integration of technology in instruction.

Using the resources amassed through the funding by CTAP, Vision 4 hopes to maximize the training of hundreds of teachers in our consortium.
