Topics: Developing Site Leadership, Technology

 

How can a site create a bridge between individual teacher-leaders’ interests in technology and the site’s development of leadership capacity in the area of technology and literacy? Presenters will share programs and structures their sites implemented to support the integration of technology into writing instruction in elementary, middle, and high school classes. They will explain how these structures have fed back into the site, resulting in stronger teacher leadership and expanded site capacity to offer technology-based continuity activities and professional development. Participants will reflect on the models presented and imagine how they might apply in their own site’s context.
