As you know, Region 5 was currently funded by OSEP to help RPTACs assist Parent Centers in their region to do long range Technology Planning. The 2010 Tech Supplement created a workable technology planning process for the parent centers. Supporting the work through consultation so that more parent centers can undertake long term strategic technology planning is crucial. Our goals for this project are essentially to:

- Train you, the RPTACs in the technology planning process
- Mentor you through the process of training 1 center in your region during the Oct. 1, 2012-Sept. 30th, 2013 fiscal year.

It would help us a great deal if we knew how you’d like to receive the information, as well as where your center currently is in the technology planning process. We will use your input to help design our TA delivery. Thank you for your time. We look forward to sharing this experience with you!

Sincerely,
The Region 5 TA Team
Barbara Buswell, Roger Holt, and Jacey Tramutt
