Tip:
How can you reach each teacher's individual needs when your budget is low? What we do is created a "just-in-time" assistance model that could be utilized for any purpose.
- Bring in a substitute for one day each week.
- Ask teachers to sign up on the technology coordinator's or professional developer's door for a specific "period" of time.
- Copy that sheet of paper for the substitute who floats from room to room.
This individualized approach to professional development costs may vary depending on your substitute rate à inexpensive, individualized professional development, meeting needs at any person's level. There is a confidential nature to this type of help, as well. Teachers will be honest about what they really need when it is not in a group of colleagues
