Delcom Group is uniquely aware of the growing need for Professional Development. As new forms of technology find their way into the classroom through devices such as interactive whiteboards, slates, and document cameras, educators are finding it increasingly difficult to keep up. That’s why we’re available today to consult with your institution to develop, plan, and deliver customized and effective training that suits your needs and your budget. Whether you choose to train-the-trainer or train all of your personnel, and no matter the hardware, we believe successful training equals success in the classroom. We’re here to help.

Delcom considers Professional Development a necessity, not an afterthought. A study published by the National Education Association in 2008 found that 88.9% of educators surveyed believed technology is essential to teaching and learning. However, only 55.7% of the same group of educators believed they had received adequate training on integrating technology into instruction. In addition, only 45.6% of educators surveyed believed they had received adequate training on using technology to design individualized lesson plans. These figures show that while educators know the importance of technology in education, it is not uncommon to find many who do not understand how to take advantage of the latest technology. That’s why effective Professional Development is so crucial.

Delcom’s Professional Development group is prepared to develop a customized plan that fits your technological goals. We will educate teachers in an enlightening and detailed manner on how to properly integrate their curriculum with your district’s resources. Professional Development ensures that your technological investments are properly utilized and that students receive the best educational experience possible. Delcom is here to support you as we work together to help teachers and students make the most of their time together.
