TECHNOLOGY STAFF TRAINING

We are so proud to share that Ranchito teaching staff has been working diligently in attending ongoing technology training this school year. The awesome news is that staff participated in a 3 day district technology training that took place at  Ranchito in August in the 2015/2016 school year. In addition teachers have participated in various after-school technology training sessions at Ranchito taught by Mr. Lopez and Ms. Nakakihara during the 2016/2017 school year.. On Saturday, April 22, 2017 our staff had the opportunity to participate in an all day technology training.

This school year our technology team attended a four day training on August 2017, we will be planning ongoing training during school and after-school. 

The Instructional Technology Facilitator will actively provide and support teachers, students and staff  during this school year.
