Some cool thinking going on here. Since we know that teachers like students are all on different learning continuum’s when it comes to technology would something like a IETP be helpful in ensuring accountability and skill growth for teachers while still respecting the fact that acquiring these new skills takes time and effort? How hard would it be to manage?

I'm thinking though, that the plan should begin from data that you've gathered about instructional needs. In the US some of that data could come from state assessments or from grade level common assessments. Analyze the data to pinpoint instructional needs and goals, link that to technology tools that support the goals (that's where you come in), then identify the training that an individual teacher needs in order to use those tools. You would probably find clusters of teachers who are all working toward the same instructional goals and then you can form a training group to learn the tools that are needed and how they can be used in various ways. I'm still thinking this through but I believe that you need to have pinpointed the instructional goals first.
