Dear Principal:

We share in your excitement in congratulating your teacher on his/her nomination as a Keystone Technology Integrator (KTI) and in their selection as one of the 100 teachers across the state to attend the Keystone Summit at Bucknell University July 26-30, 2010!

As in the past, we would like to invite you, principal of a Summit attendee, to participate in a full-day workshop and accompany your KTI teacher to a formal banquet to share in the excitement and help celebrate your teacher’s accomplishments.

You are invited to spend a day engaged in hands-on experiences designed to improve your skills to lead and support the effective use of technology in a school building to positively impact student achievement. Strategies for incorporating the Standards Aligned System (SAS) and online learning will be among some of the topics covered. In addition, a portion of the day will include an introduction to H.E.A.T. (H = Higher-order thinking, E = Engaged learning, A = Authentic learning, T = Technology use) and the LoTi Administrator Institute (LAI) See attached article for more information on H.E.A.T. LAI focuses on improving student achievement using 21st Century Leadership and data-driven decision-making. The Institute includes strategies for: (1) conducting classroom walkthroughs with H.E.A.T.; (2) designing professional development opportunities that target greater rigor and relevance, LoTi, and research best-practices; (3) and creating a campus Next Steps Action Plan. If you choose to complete the LAI course requirements you will receive 30 ACT 45 eligible CPE Credits.

The workshop will begin on **Thursday, July 29th from 8:10 am -- until 4:30 pm**. in the Dana Building Room 134. Following the workshop, there will be a formal banquet from 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm.
