Abstract: This poster will show the longitudinal results of six administrations of a biennial state-wide needs assessment of educational technology and will discuss the policy and funding implications for the 2019 legislative session. We will focus on the findings regarding the professional development of teachers, how they have changed over time, and what that means for educational technology funding and policy decisions that will be made in the 2019 session.
