About Model Schools

NEW: Instructional Technology is now Model Schools

LHRIC Instructional Services has always adapted to meet the changing
needs of the consortium in the ways we design and deliver support around instructional technology and professional development. In an effort
to consolidate all the talent in the Instructional Services Department,
and to make these services more accessible to all district constituents,
the LHRIC Instructional Technology Department is now LHRIC Model Schools, consisting of the basic Core Service and other fee based premiere instructional technology services. By combining into one Model Schools department, we provide better access to the LHRIC instructional staff, consulting for decision making, and enhance the effective participation of the consortium. We also make it easier for districts to keep abreast of the many new services and offerings that are developed.
