From the supplier: Apple's Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow (ACOT) project, which was conceptualized to saturate targeted classrooms with computers and monitor the results, found the most successful approach to staff development training to be a traditional one. Analysis of the five stages of integration with computers that teachers go through, including Entry, Adoption, Adaptation, Appropriation and Invention, provided guidance for developing a successful approach. Effective staff development contextualizes practice in real classrooms for practical modeling, observation and interaction. Advocates participate in team learning to eliminate the experience of isolation during change and provide support. The ACOT principles for staff development call for the use of coordinators as models for teacher facilitation with students, provide constant metacognition through reflection and discussion, ask teachers design lessons and units dependant on the new technology and call for plenty of follow-up support.
