Cover Page
& Summary of
project
Maximum Points 5
Cover Page and
Summary is missing.
Some requested information
is missing. The project is
described, but some
elements are not clearly
described.
All information is complete and the
summary offers a clear and concise
picture of the planned professional
development.
Section 1
Overview of
Program
Maximum Points 15
There is little or no
discussion of the
professional
development activities
that will be
implemented,
especially as they will
influence technology
integration.
Various strategies for
professional development
are identified but need more
elaboration on their
effectiveness in enhancing a
learning environment using
technology.
There is strong evidence of activity
that will support a significant
number of teachers as they design
and implement lessons that integrate
technology in interesting and
effective ways. It is clear how the
professional development will be
linked to student achievement.
Section 2
Goals and
Objectives
Maximum Points 10
The
goals
and
objectives for the
professional
development are
missing or limited to
training for software.
Goals and objectives relate
to student learning and
needs; however, the
objectives are unclear as to
how the professional
development will promote
the integration of
technology into curriculum.
Objectives are clearly measurable
and describe how the professional
development will result in
technology integration. Goals and
objectives are strongly linked to
student learning.
Section 3
Professional
Development
Strategies
Maximum Points 15
The
professional
development activities
provide teachers with
minimal opportunities
for learning ways to
integrate technology
and there is an absence
of support. The
strategies do not reflect
the National Staff
Development
Standards.
The professional
Development activities
provide limited
opportunities for teachers to
revise and refine their
learning. There is
insufficient support or
collaboration when teachers
try new teaching strategies
that incorporate technology.
The strategies are tied in a
limited way to the National
Staff Development
Standards.
The professional development
activities provide teachers with
opportunities to revise and refine
their learning. Teachers are provided
opportunities to reflect on their ideas
for technology integration. They are
able to collaborate and get support
from technology leaders. It is
evident that the strategies reflect the
National Staff Development
Standards.
Section 4
Selection and Use of
Technology Tools
Maximum Points 15
The use of selected
technology perpetuates
the use of technology
for rote tasks or in a
way that is forced.
The use of technology tools
selected for the project can
be used by teachers to
develop appropriate lessons
that integrate technology.
The use of the technology tools
selected for the project will allow
teachers to design instructional tasks
that would not be possible or
probable without them.
Section 5
Evaluation
Maximum Points 10
Evaluation is unclear or
missing.
An evaluation process is
described, but without detail
or reference to the goals and
objectives in Section 2.
The evaluation plan is described in
detail and is directly linked to the
project goals and objectives listed in
Section 2. Evaluation strategies
include more than one way to assess
the outcomes.
Section 6
Timeline
Maximum Points 10
This project plan does
not include a timeline.
This proposal includes
limited information about
timelines.
This project has a specific timeline
that realistically reflects the
accomplishment of the activities.
Section 7
Budget
Maximum Points 10
Budget
is
limited
and/or figures do not
total correctly.
Guidelines are not
followed.

applicant plans to incorporate information from a North TIER on-line course or symposium
and/or supports collaboration across schools or divisions.
