GoKnow creates and delivers professional development
seminars to train teachers to use its educational
technology products and, more importantly, to incorporate these tools
into the classroom in support of inquiry-based learning.
To help you with a successful and sustainable handheld implementation
project, GoKnow, Inc. proposes a professional
development model for Year One. This timeline and model may be easily
modified for larger and smaller groups as necessary, but the overall
goals remain the same. We hope that you can use this framework in your
grant proposals, to create an implementation strategy for your district
or school. Contact a GoKnow Specialist at pd@goknow.com
to discuss the specifics of a handheld implementation professional development
plan for your school or district.
