Tech Truck
After plenty of research, planning, and learning of how to purchase and personalize a truck, the Tech Truck was implemented into CPS for the 2015 - 2016 school year. Currently, the truck goes out to schools on a pre-assigned day. Teachers are informed well in advance when it will be at their school, and upon request, the truck will go out to at additional times besides the pre-assigned day. The Tech Truck also takes part in various events for the district including job fairs and board meetings, Also, the truck is taking part in community events including attending the Findlay Market Opening Day Parade which honors the Cincinnati Reds Opening Day each year. Currently, the Tech Truck has served over 2220 employees and will continue to be utilized in the community.
Teachers enjoy the freedom and informal training that happens on the truck. It's a chance to learn from not only those that are trainers on the truck but also their colleagues. Honest conversations are shared with one another and unexpected learning happens. Testimonials are featured below.
