Technology Continuing Professional Development Courses

The primary goal of Technology Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses is to teach teachers how to design activities that integrate the use of licensed instructional software and online applications into daily instruction. Teachers attending CPD courses will:

• Learn how to use instructional software and online applications through model technology integrated activities.
• Create a scoring tool to assess technology and content standards.
• Create an activity that integrates the use of technology indicators with content indicators to support the State Curriculum.
• Share knowledge and learning activities with colleagues and reflect on best practices.

CPD courses are offered after school at a variety of locations throughout the county. Teachers can earn one or more MSDE credits for successful completion of a course.
