==//**DRIVING QUESTION: What sustainable system/structure will enable coaches to encourage and support teachers developing engaging and academically challenging assignments?**//==

All questions below must be directly related to answering the above question.

Create a PATIMs Statewide group. Meet face-to-face 4 times a year. Meet virtually other months as needed. Take information back to the coaches and teachers.

Why is this **not** a good idea? Money is tight. May be hard to come up with the money. PAIMS pays $300 per year for a team of 4. Still need to come up with travel money. Several of the TIMs are also attending PACC or PAIMS. It might be tough to get out another day.

Why do we want to sustain the TIMS group? To gather together and network and learn new strategies to share with coaches and teachers.

How do we maintain the TIMs group? We would need to create a mission statement for the PATIMs group. Create a breakout of the PAIMS group?

Goal: The PATIMs will be the PAIUNet/SAS ambassadors.

Goal: Support IU/PDE initiatives in serving the districts relevant to technology integration.

Goal: Model cost effectiveness and awareness of emerging technologies in the instructional process.

RTII??

Why do we want to sustain the TIMs group? To be able to affect teachers and teaching. To sustain the positive changes in instruction that CFF started. Leadership instruction and 21st century issues and concerns. Leverage our relationships with our district curriculum leaders to impact teachers and students. TIMs model walking both the curriculum and technology lines for districts.
