Proposal

 **Proposal:**  **General Description:**  Propose to develop and pilot an interactive middle school campus orientation and staff development tool using existing and new-created informational resources.  The initiation of a “Campus Scavenger Hunt” would serve as a consolidated development resource designed to accommodate and function as an ongoing, campus-based educational system for new-to-campus teachers.  Development and implementation would occur through a collaboration of district inclusion, staff development, instructional technology staff, and campus staff.  ** Intent:**    **Indirectly, the” Campus Scavenger Hunt” might also serve as a consolidated information resource for returning campus staff.** <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">**Proposed Implementation Date:** <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">**BOY - 2010** <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">**Suggested Informational Categories:** <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">**Action Steps:**
