Power Teacher Pro

Give more time for teachers to learn the new tool

Access to resources hard to find - make it easier to navigate

Roll out for this should have been in the early spring to allow teachers a chance to switch early to test it out

Teachers were told about the Change in June but only had 2 days to work with the program before classes went in

Mandatory PD

Videos and walk throughs were made and provided and not made mandatory for teachers to look at

Teachers were expected to complete the D2L on the new resource - but it was not made mandatory

What IT Could do to improve transition

Both programs had very similar tools/feature they were just located differently in each.

Work with smaller groups of teacher (departments) - train department heads to assist their department and new staff.

Provide more opportunities for IT staff to learn the features

Mock classes should have more available to them like adjusting attendance

More time needed for newer IT staff to work with the program in advance of roll out

IT staff should have had training before teachers had access
