Professional Development: FCASD

The Fox Chapel Area School District had a challenge to meet when it began a technology initiative in 2000. The high school principal, Charles Territo, came up with a plan to meet the challenge from the School Board: How can you guarantee that the funds you're requesting for new computer labs, presentation systems, and laptops will be used effectively."

Jane Mather will share her insights into the program based on her experience as the facilitator for the Professional Education Program (PEP) that was developed to meet the Board challenge. Over the years the program adapted to meet the challenges of Classrooms for the Future and now Teaching and Learning in the 21st Century. However, at each stage the program continued an emphasis on infusing technology into teaching and learning.

Share with Jane your questions about the Fox Chapel Area High School professional development program.
