**Population:** This workshop is designed for Teachers in the Memphis City School District

**Outcomes:** Teachers will be able to: 1) Integrate C.P.S. Clicker system in their classroom 2) Transform class structure by implementing an interactive whiteboard

**Gap:** Most teachers are overwhelmed with excessive tasks which hinder their preparation and ability to meet students learning need in the classroom. They are also bombarded with every new idea in technology and aren’t provided with effective strategies to implement proven techniques to increase their effectiveness in the classroom. This workshop is designed to bridge the gap between ineffective overwhelmed teachers and effective educators who consistently challenge and assist learners to work toward their academic potential.
