 * Below you will find the draft application for the Promethean Package. Please read it over and add any additional areas that you think schools need to address. I also put point values on each section, if you think sections should be worth more or less points, please change that as well. You can make any changes by clicking on the "Edit this Page" button at the top. If you don't think any changes need to be made, please email me.

Also, what are your thoughts of supplying the scoring rubric? Are the numbers enough, or should I include an actual rubric. I have been given the advice, not to include one because the person thought that ILT's might use the rubric without having the 80% buyin. Please advise.** (I agree but somewhere in the application we ought to have some indication of how they have determined the 80% buy-in and in that way we avoid a few enthusiasts filling out the application. Whether we give them the numbers or not, that is a danger. I have put my application suggestions in bold within each section...ruth //(I am in agreement with the suggestions shared by Ruth. I would suggest reevaluating the point values assigned with the addition of the suggested questions. - Kim)//
