Open
Power Teacher Pro Provide more opportunities for IT staff to learn the features 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 Mock classes should have more available to them like adjusting attendance What IT Could do to improve transition Work with smaller groups of teacher (departments) - train department heads to assist their department and new staff. Both programs had very similar tools/feature they were just located differently in each. Mandatory PD Teachers were expected to complete the D2L on the new resource - but it was not made mandatory Videos and walk throughs were made and provided and not made mandatory for teachers to look at Give more time for teachers to learn the new tool Teachers were told about the Change in June but only had 2 days to work with the program before classes went in Roll out for this should have been in the early spring to allow teachers a chance to switch early to test it out Access to resources hard to find - make it easier to navigate
