 * Staff** **Developer**: Ebony Schoon


 * Date:** Monday**,** March 10, 2008
 * School:** P.S. 001 The Courtlandt School
 * Principal:** Mr. Jorge Perdomo
 * Grade:** Pre-K to 5
 * Visit Overview:** Met with the Principal and the School Technology Liaison (STL), Allison Rosenblum. The purpose of the meeting was to conduct the Technology Inventory/Survey and discuss immediate concerns regarding technician support, professional development and continued support, and the Principal's Technology Initiative which includes both short and long-term goals for instructional technology in the building. Concluding the walk through, I made some immediate suggestions to the principal. I informed him that I would request technical support to assist them with immediate technical and networking issues. I assisted the STL in registering for the "Coaching the 21st Century Classroom" scheduled on March 31st at the Information Technology High School in Queens. Finally, I discussed scheduling Professional Development and ongoing support for eChalk workshops and SMART Board Training for 6-7 teachers on site.
 * Goals:**
 * 1) Conduct an inventory/survey of the instructional technology in the building.
 * 2) Tentatively schedule on site professional development workshops for SMART Boards and eChalk.
 * Next Steps:** (Follow-up Procedures):
 * After attending the "Coaching the 21st Century Classroom," assist the SLT in creating and implementing the school's technology plan.
 * After facilitating this year's workshops, create a Professional Development Plan for technology integration with the Principal and STL.
 * Anticipated Outcomes:**
 * 1) Build a relationship with the school and provide ongoing support.
 * Areas of Concern** (if any): The Principal has a clear vision of technology use in his school but there is existing technology that can also be upgraded and utilized in some way. In building his infrastructure, I worry that he may not be aware of how to fully utilize the resources he already has at the school.
 * Extra Support Needed:**
 * The SLT has requested assistance with overall networking capabilities.
 * The Principal has expressed a desire to build a relationship with our office so that they can have ongoing support and professional development.
 * Model Site:** (Yes/No): NO
 * Other Teachers Serviced:** None
