The
Department of Instructional Technology takes teacher input very
seriously. Many of the following policies are a direct result of
teacher input.
-
At the
completion of each training, attendees will be required to complete an
on-line evaluation and have an opportunity to comment on the session
they attended. This on-line evaluation must be completed within
5 days of the session. You will receive instructions on how to
access and complete the survey at the end of each class.
-
No
drop-ins. You must register on-line prior to attending class.
-
NO
CHILDREN will be allowed during training sessions. Many have
found this to be very distracting.
-
Duplicate certificates
NOT will be issued. Please keep up with your
completion certificates.
-
A minimum
of five (5) must register for any class. Otherwise, the class
will be cancelled and you will be notified via email at least 24 hours
in advance.
-
Please be
on time for class. Classes are closed 15 minutes after the start time and no admittance
will be allowed after that.
-
Please un-register for
any class you find you will not be able to attend and have registered
for. We understand that situations arise and you may not be able
to attend a class; however, a tremendous amount of preparation goes
into each class and you may be keeping someone else from attending if
you do not un-register yourself. We do have a waiting list for
many classes, so please be considerate of your fellow employees.

Wylie
ISD has retained the 190 day teacher contract for the 2003/2004 school
year, which provides four days (24 hours) of paid, individual staff
development to be completed by teachers.
Two
parent conference extended days (6 hours) will fulfill one of the comp
days.
Individual
teachers, in collaboration with their principal, may determine the
additional three comp days (18 hours). There are many workshop
opportunities available through the WISD , as well as Region 10 during the
summer and throughout the school year.
To
summarize, in addition to the parent conference hours (6 hours), a total
of 18 hours of staff development credit (whether it is technology or
other) is required by teachers to fulfill the 190-day contract.
Teachers will need to provide administrators with a copy of their
certificates with the number of hours completed prior
to May 1, 2004.
