**1)** **To date, how have you used the money your division received for K-8 teachers' LwICT professional learning i** ** n 2008-09 and 2009-10? ** a. The majority of the funds goes towards our peer coaching program. We have coaches in every school who work with the K-8 teachers in their building. They collaborate on how to infuse ICT in the classroom. b. The rest of the funds is used for specific ICT training. Ex. Mimio, Ignite


 * 2) What professional learning is occurring now because of the extra funding that you previously not able to do?**

a) It is funding all of our LwICT PD. Without that funding it will be hard to support ICT.


 * 3) Does your division have any strategies for ongoing professional learning (For example: Professional Learning Community - online, face-to-face, mentors, etc?)**

Yes, we have a Peer coaching program (mentoring). We use Microsoft Office Communicator as a vehicle to run our PLC.


 * 4) What successful strategies would you like to recommend to other divisions?**

You need to have some sort of mentoring program in your division. And some sort of communication software that allows teachers to reach out to others for the "just in time" training.

**Report Card Samples**

 * 5) How often do you report on Literacy with ICT during the school year?**

They will report in March (manditory) and in June (optional)


 * 6) Which grades are reporting on Literacy with ICT?**

All grades K-8


 * 7) When does the reporting occur?**

March


 * 8) What feedback have you received from parents regarding reporting of Literacy with ICT?**

None - Parents don't seem to understand what they are reading on the report card. They know that technology is important for their child to use but don't get what they need to be doing.


 * 9) In certain circumstances, a child may have more than one teacher. How would/do your teachers report on a child's literacy with ICT in this circumstance? Please discuss with your divisional team and record some possible strategies to address this issue.**

Teachers meet to discuss LwICT.

Transition to Senior Years

 * 11) Thoughts on //Literacy with ICT// transition to the Senior Years**

We are creating a 3 year plan for senior years ICT. It will have some similar concepts that the K-8 plan did. Year 1 - Why is LwICT Important Year 2 - How do I implement Year 3 - How do I assess.


 * 12 )Ongoing support for K-8 teachers**

We will continue to support our K-8 program with our Peer Coaching program. Schools have the ability to request funding for LwICT funding.
