=**TELL** - Technology-Enhanced Literacy and Learning= Professional Development Series Three Sessions: October 21, 2014 (Kickoff), November 18, 2014 (TRETC), and December 8, 2014



TELL (Technology-Enhanced Literacy and Learning)

This professional development series for all AIU districts focuses on building partnerships between classroom teachers and library media specialists. Participants will create a project leveraging instructional technology and best practices in literacy across the curriculum. Each district may send one team of a classroom teacher and a library media specialist.

HOW IT WORKS: We will begin with a full-day kickoff event on October 21, 2014. Each team will then be charged with planning their project. We will reconvene at the TRETC Conference on November 18, 2014 to gain awareness of ed tech innovations and to provide support for district teams. Finally, teams will share projects and results during the School and Public Library Partnership Summit on December 8, 2014.

COST: The only cost incurred by the district will be for substitutes on November 18, 2014. For all other costs, AIU will reimburse up to $80 per person, per day for substitutes, and we will also pay the registration fee ($129) for the TRETC Conference. Morning refreshments will be provided on October 21 and December 8. Morning refreshments and lunch will be provided at TRETC.
