• Looks at how well a particular investment achieves the core mission for an organization.
• Can include both interim as well as end outcomes

Professional Development
Common Myths / Misconceptions
• Virtual schools and regular school counselors can handle the few participating students without leadership support.
• Any regular classroom teacher is already qualified to teach online.
• Any highly qualified face-to-face classroom teacher is ready to teach a quality online course that has previously been prepared or purchased. Some say those who teach a section that is already online don’t really teach at all!

Professional Development
Common Myths / Misconceptions
• Virtual schooling will fit with regular school routines and practices. The technology coordinator and counselor will provide any professional development necessary.
• Newly qualified teachers who learn about virtual schooling in their preservice programs will be ready to teach online when they graduate.

Professional Development
District 219 has instituted Board Goal #3: Anywhere, Anytime Learning. As students receive devices and participate in a re-written curriculum (BOE Goal 2 Ensuring a guaranteed and rigorous curriculum and common final exam) teachers need to be able to effectively leverage the educational potential these devices offer students. Tech 1 exposes teachers to a wide variety of common resources (web 2.0, collaborative, FOSS) which will help them effectively select and develop educational experiences for their students.
