It is necessary to ensure that all teachers are provided the knowledge and skills required to use instructional technologies in their classrooms. This project is based upon a well "designed model that will enable all teachers in the district to become informed, proficient," and capable of using technology in their instructional design. This project will assure that all teachers can maintain their skills within the rapidly changing educational technology environment.
