 * Project Integrate** supports three concurrent professional development cohorts consisting of administrators, teachers and technology integrationists. All team members will participate in an online curriculum focusing on 21st century skills and best practice technology integration. Each cohort will also have specific program requirements based on their professional interests and needs. All participants will be supported throughout the duration of the program by a **Project Integrate** certified Cognitive Coach©, Education Technology Integrationist, and a Professional Learning Community.



The three cohorts will work to create a __**shared understanding of 21st Century skills and technology integration best practices**__. Concurrent professional development cohorts serve the multiple purposes of cost efficiency, increased understanding and communication between stakeholder groups, and the creation of a sustainable learning community that is vertically and horizontally integrated. Project Integrate leverages a combination of direct instruction, mobile learning tools, mentoring/modeling, and a professional learning community to demonstrate best practices and deliver high quality, sustainable professional development.

//Participants will increase their level of technology integration// as well as become models and support for staff in their districts to transform instructional practices, thereby building a growing network of 21st century educators throughout the state. All participants will complete an action research plan and electronic portfolio to house their program data. Project Integrate will share media, curriculum, lesson/unit plans, and resources collected throughout the program.

Project Integrate will benefit students directly from an increased systemic focus on effective technology integration and 21st Century skills. This focus will positively impact student achievement in the core subject areas taught by participating educators.
