About five years ago, Surrey Schools decided that its days of simply distributing new hardware to its 125 K-12 institutions and hoping it all went to good use were over. Instead, said Director of Instruction Elisa Carlson, “We started asking schools to develop their own site-specific hardware and learning plans. We wanted to know how they were going to use the technology to transform learning.” Concurrently, the district began encouraging teachers to form groups and use a “collaborative inquiry process” to explore key teaching and learning topics. Those groups would then develop the learning plans that the schools submitted to the district. “We got all of the teachers around the table together,” said Carlson. “That allowed us to embed the professional development right [down] to the school level and tie it to the technology.”
