Case Study: Thomaston Upson Schools

Initial Teacher Reaction

Julie English, elementary teacher says her initial reaction when she was told about this was “What ELSE to I have to do NOW ?” 
But by the second day of staff development, that all changed.  Even by the end of the first day of training, the teachers were running back to their rooms to see if their Activboards were connected so they could start working!    

“A key to our success was the ability to share what we created with other teachers.  A central file server was set up with each grade level given its own folder.  We just split the load (of developing lessons) and got the job done!”
