Model Schools is a service that we provide that focuses on three main areas

- professional development

- group purchasing

- technical assistance

All of these focus areas are intended to promote technology and technology-based initiatives within our classrooms so that we can all positively impact student achievement.

While our professional development offerings are focused on the areas of need that we see as priorities based on the information that we have, we also need to hear from districts so that we can provide what you specifically need in your own environment.

Current offerings can be see on the Professional Development page.

Please contact Tara Caraco with you PD requests - tcaraco@hfmboces.org

Through Model Schools we will be able to provide assistance with all of your technological needs. Whether you need to have your Technology Plan reviewed, confirm a technology idea for your district, or receive support for the needs of the Computer Science and Digital Fluency standards implementation in your buildings, we will be able to assist you.

A major benefit of Model Schools is that we can purchase items under the group and benefit from collective buying power to reduce costs. There is also the benefits of BOCES Aid from these purchases.
