CIITS District Highlight
Pulaski County Public Schools
•Curriculum specialists and teacher leaders have provided training for the entire district and more teacher leaders are being identified (started with E/LA and Mathematics and expanding across all grade levels and content areas).•The district has a very strong leadership team that communicates well together and technology use is heavily emphasized (technology infrastructure is comprehensive across the district and the Superintendent makes this a priority).•District curriculum is very organized and they require consistent naming conventions district wide (this makes it easier to find and share across the district).•They have a district technology training center and the ATC promotes district collaboration.•The district has created a new teacher training program that is helping to build capacity across the district (focusing on mentoring and collaboration as critical processes assisting in support).
