The Microsoft Innovative Educator program at Microsoft is offering a number of two-day seminars for teacher trainers and technology integration specialists.
These seminars are designed for teacher trainers and those who have responsibilities training educators on the integration of technology in the classroom. It is encouraged to have teams from schools and districts attend as there will be time set aside to develop a teacher professional development action plan that can be used to train teachers how to incorporate Microsoft technologies into teaching and learning.
Teams attending should include those who have a responsibility for developing and/or implementing professional development in their district/region/state. Specifically, a strong team would include any combination of people representing education roles, including administrator, teacher trainer, education technology director, curriculum integration specialist, or master teacher.
