Do you know about the changes to E-Rate or are you looking to learn about the program in general? E-Rate is a federal program schools can take advantage of to help pay for Internet access and network equipment. While this is a free resources for schools, many find the E-Rate program intimidating, time consuming and confusing. In this webinar you will learn about the changes that have occurred in the program in the past few months, who is eligible, gain insight into the process, and find out how to apply (even if your school has not yet opened). We will discuss Category 1 and Category 2 products and services, how to calculate your budgets, what your school requirements are, as well as all of the new rules. If you have ever had questions about the E-Rate program or been unsure of the process, we suggest you listen to this webinar and ask an expert. The webinar will be presented by Ben Sniecinski of E-Rate Advantage.

A strategic plan serves as an essential foundation and roadmap for all your improvement efforts for your school or CMO. It ensures all educators are on the same page and serves as a "living document" that is referenced throughout the year to check on progress and to ensure all initiatives are in direct alignment with the plan. Misalignment or lack of alignment between a strategic plan and additional initiatives not in the plan can lead to confusion among staff, extra burdens on teachers as priorities may conflict, and lack of progress towards student achievement. In this webinar, learn how to start the planning process that will get you to a clear plan that: Identifies the real instructional needs through data; Invites internal and external stakeholders to work collaboratively to develop the plan; and Includes a vision, theory of action, assets (what's working already), big picture goal, and priority goals.
