“The single most powerful predictor of student success is teacher training"
Dr. Barry Bennett
A solid professional development plan requires a thorough understanding of how interactive whiteboard
technology
is adopted by teachers. As the leader in the interactive whiteboard market, SMART has been working with teachers
for over 20 years and has come to understand that when adopting our technology, the majority of teachers will
move through 4 distinct phases as shown below. At Schiller's, we understand each phase of adoption and are here
to support your teachers and staff members as they walk through each phase.
In addition, learn about the basic tools in SMART Notebook and the cool interactive lessons and activities.
The speed and ease with which teachers move through each of these phases depends, in a large part, on the amount of professional development that they receive. Left to their own devices, a teacher might take years to acquire the necessary skill and understanding to achieve the Exemplary status. However, a well designed program of instruction can often reduce this period significantly.
