=TECHNOLOGY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MATRIX=

**Categories used are:**

 * 1) **Entry** - The teacher uses technology tools at a minimum -- basic use of core software.
 * 2) **Adoption** - The teacher is able to use software daily and can also direct students in the conventional use of tool-based software.
 * 3) **Adaptation** - The teacher encourages adaptation of tool-based software by allowing students to select a tool and modify its use to accomplish the task at hand.
 * 4) **Infusion** - The teacher creates a learning environment that infuses the power of technology tools throughout the day across subject areas.
 * 5) **Transformation** - The teacher creates a rich learning environment in which students regularly engage in activities that would have been impossible to achieve without technology.

**Standards* used are:**

 * 1) **Starter** **( S )** = Base level introduction to software, hardware, concept, technique, or task
 * 2) **User** **(**** U ****)** = Regular (daily/very regular) use of software, hardware, concept, technique, or task with some assistance
 * 3) **Independent User** **(**** IU ****)** = Regular (daily/very regular) use of software, hardware, concept, technique, or task with very little or no assistance; also helps support other users.
 * 4) **Advanced Independent User** **(**** AIU ****)** = Regular (daily/very regular) use of software, hardware, concept, technique, or task with very little or no assistance; discovers new software/ways of using software in curriculum and share these resources; also helps support other users.

//*For quantitative scoring, the following numbers are assigned to the standards above: S=1, U=2, IU=3, and AIU=4. The highest score is 4, lowest is 1. Example of use: at the end of a school year, we can assess that a teacher's score in this matrix is 145 out of 200. We can then assign interpretations of these scores and recommend specific professional development for constant improvement.//
