Semester 1: online or face-to-face course, 1 hour per month of E3 Lead Teacher support

Semester 2: implementation of PBL unit, 3 hours per month of E3 Lead Teacher support

Semester 3: planning and implementation of a new PBL unit, 2 hours per month of E3 Lead Teacher support

E3 Lead Teachers are responsible for supporting their campus with

technology for 8 hours a month. In addition, E3 Lead Teachers must attend

a two-day Summer Institute and two-hour workshops, after school hours,

once a month. E3 Lead Teachers will be compensated $3,000 a year.

E3 Lead Teachers will create a Support Plan every month. The plan will

allow E3 Lead Teachers to choose from a menu of campus-based support

options. The number of hours spent directly with E3 Teams will be

determined by the number of teams a campus has. E3 Team support is the

first priority.
