Welcome to LHRIC Instructional Technology
The purpose of the Instructional Technology department at the LHRIC is to foster a community of professionals through the exchange of ideas and leverage creative and innovative use of technology in a global collaborative environment for the advancement of all learners.
We provide professional development for teachers and administrators that is differentiated for each learner, each classroom, each school, and district. We aim to spark the innovation, creativity, reflection and enthusiasm for teaching and learning that brought them into education in the first place.
Our approach to professional development design ensures that experiences are scalable, replicable, relevant, and the experiences are fun! We offer job embedded cohorts, online courses, workshops, webinars, professional learning communities, peer to peer sessions, on demand coaching, vendor run sessions, and more.
Our ultimate goal is to make sure each adult learner has the skills and requisite knowledge to effectively amp up their practice through the integration of technology resources.
Reach out to learn more about any of our services, programs or just to inquire about trends and experiences.
