The Tech Enhanced Classroom (TEC)
Moving toward Tier 2
One of the four goals of the district's technology plan is for 75% of the teaching staff to be at Tier 2 by 2010. Tier 2 is essentially where technology is used as an instructional tool. Three components will be necessary for our teachers to successfully reach this level and it is the district's intent to provide all three.
