Why Should I Apply for Pinnacle?

The Pinnacle applications are available! You will find them in the GCS Portal.

For those readers outside of our school district, we have a program called Pinnacle Leader's Network that provides a collaborative learning network. The goal is to enhance technology integration, focus on learner-centered classrooms, and equip technology leaders in our schools.

Many of our teachers have lots of various technologies already at their fingertips, so they always ask, why should I apply for Pinnacle? What is the benefit?

Outside of " technology stuff" (don't ask me, I don't know what this year's group will be getting), Pinnacle helps you begin to build your own Professional Learning Network, energizes you with new ideas, and helps you hon your craft. It is a great way to connect with others that are passionate about teaching. Pinnacle isn't about the stuff, it is about stretching yourself as an educator.

Are you up to the challenge? Applications are due March 2.
