We invite all employees in the following
v

Administrators and support staff are highly encouraged
to become part of this network and to attend workshops together. Send an email

and do not include text in the subject or text

In July
2010, the transition will continue as workshops are consolidated from multiple
day workshops to one day from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Additional workshops will
be offered such as
v
Web2.0 Ready-Are
You?

Most
importantly, schools and agencies with an educational purpose can join the
Software Training network to provide their employees with effective professional
development at reduced prices. The following prices are expected for the
2010/11 academic year:
·
Under 2,000
students/employees
$2,500
Take
advantage of sending up to 25 employees to workshops (25 workshop
maximum)
·
2,001 students/employees and
over
$5,000
Take
advantage of sending up to 50 employees to workshops (50 workshop
maximum)
Additional member workshop
fees:
$100/registration
Non-member workshop
fees:
$200/registration
All
network partners will be invited to join bi-annual collegial circles to share
best practices and solutions to identified obstacles. Onsite professional
development will be greatly reduced to $866/day and can be customized for
specific needs. Eastern Suffolk BOCES Model Schools districts can use
Model Schools funds for onsite professional development if the audience consists
of a majority of licensed educators.
We look
forward to working with you as the program develops to meet your needs. Your
thoughts and ideas are appreciated. Please contact me directly if you need
further clarification. Please join the
listserv to receive Software Training information. Thank
you.
