Welcome to the online home of the Souderton Area School District's Staff Development Center. In collaboration with the Secondary and Elementary Directors of Education it is the goal of the Staff Development to support teachers in their delivery of district curriculum. This information is developed and maintained to provide staff members with easy access to helpful information. The Staff Development Resource Center is located in the Mark Garis Staff Development Center at Franconia Elementary. Here you will find the opportunity to browse our curriculum library, sign out materials, meet with Staff Development Team members and collaborate with colleagues.

  I can assist you with lesson planning to integrate technology, help you set up and use a SMART Board, work with you to design a web page, give you tips about a PowerPoint presentation, facilitate a mini-lesson on using a digital camera/scanner, or get you started on a Hyperstudio stack. The goal is to use technology tools to create rich learning environments for your students. If you would like me to drop by just send me an e-mail and I'll connect with you as soon as I can.

  Ongoing learning across an entire district cannot happen without the help of many leaders. If you are willing to deliver a session for other SASD staff members contact me and I'll help in any way I can. Workshops can be scheduled for In-service days, summer sessions, or after school hours. Using technology to improve student achievement is a complex task - we need to work together to accomplish it.

  I also list course offerings on MyLearningPlan.com (MLP) for electronic registration. If you are leading a session make sure you get the Workshop Proposal Form to Carol Eells or me before the session begins. If you are having problems with the MLP site I'll be glad to help you resolve them.
