TECHknowledge 2020-21School Year, Boerne ISD Digital Learning Support E-Learning

For the 2020-21 school year, the Digital Learning Team realigned its service and support structure to improve service to the E-Learning program. The details of the Digital Learning Support Model can be found here. In summary, the objective of the Digital Learning support model will: ● Ensure training delivery is consistent across all campuses. ● Provide teachers access to multiple Digital Learning Specialists during each campus visit to meet the needs of the teachers in both expertise and availability. ● Provide teachers the ability to schedule support, co-teaching opportunities and technology integration planning sessions with any of the Digital Learning Specialists in the district instead of access to only one DLS. ● Enable teachers to be exposed to a wider range of integration tools for various curriculum implementation on a more regular basis. ● Establish an environment to utilize the strengths and availability of each DLS to match the needs of campus teachers instead of an “on call” atmosphere.

Campus Technology Coaches Every campus has two teachers dedicated for immediate on-campus support. These Campus Technology Coaches (CTCs) offer 12 hours per campus of relevant professional learning and basic technology troubleshooting throughout the year. Each campus increased from 1 coach per campus to two, to assist with E-Learning teachers. The Digital Learning Team invests time in training and supporting the CTCs.
