 * PD model has to change-some things are taught every year to the same people, after hours PD is not attended, school time PD is usually meant for data.
 * Have support throughout an entire unit-With a tech leader, media specialist, etc, have somebody work with you from the beginning planning stages through assessment in order to transform teaching.
 * Peer coaching-how to move this model across to teachers?
 * "Book Club model"-make it school based. Teams or individuals sign up with a topic of choice or from a list of "guided" topics. Make it curriculum based so that each session is relevant and current, or on a multi-purpose tool. Media specialists and tech leader can push in to schools as needed
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: medium;">As part of above model, match up elementary schools as "sister schools". Have them meet (maybe virtually?) on these days, collaborate across district.
