Information and Communication Technology II (ICT II)

News

Updated 08/27/2009
There will be one section of ICT II training at Brandon MS in Brandon, MS. 

The training will be completed through a hybrid course design. This means that participants will meet online via our Blackboard Learning System and meet face-to-face at the designated times as listed in the table below. This hybrid course design allows greater schedule flexibility for participants/teachers and our instructors.
If you have additional questions, please contact Dr. Leanne Long at leanne.long@rcu.msstate.edu

Travel Information

All High School Redesign Phase I and Phase II teachers who are trained during the school year will be reimbursed for mileage. Districts that are not in Redesign are responsible for mileage reimbursements to their teachers. Lunch will be provided at each training location.

Stipend

The Mississippi Department of Education/Office of Vocational Education and Workforce Development determined that providing grants to teachers who receive High School Redesign training during the school year would fall outside the scope and intent of the summer training grant.
