 * I. LEADERSHIP & VISION

**This project was designed to help better understand the components of a Primary Montessori program (ages 3-6). It serves as an aid in understanding the daily activities that primary children experience in the Montessori program. ** **When first approached by my eager team of teachers to complete the application for STEP I was a little hesitant. Being a NEW principal I wanted to be embrace their enthusiasm for the project but at the same time I knew my own technology limitations. My team assured me they would not leave me behind - and they didn't! Through STEP I have learned how to set-up and use a Document Camera, a Digital Camera, and a Digital Video Camera. I have used all of these at some point during the school year - at team meetings, staff meetings, PTSA meetings, field trips and with students. As this year winds to an end I have begun to look toward next year and how our team can continue to utilize and maximize our new technology knowledge and share what we have learned with others.**
