In this 4-hour forum, participants engage with their peers to:

• Examine the critical role leaders play in the effective integration of ICT into teaching and learning
• Apply their knowledge to create a prioritised list of leadership behaviours that impact the integration of technology as a tool to improve student learning
• Synthesize their understanding to begin development of a personalised action plan to implement in their school

The Leadership Forum guides school leaders as they support and promote effective integration of technology in K-12 classrooms. Through hands-on activities in a computer lab setting, participants engage with research about ICT integration and student inquiry as effective approaches to improving student achievement.

This four-hour forum provides direction and options for developing plans that can be implemented to address the unique circumstances of each school and align with national and state priorities.

What you’ll come away with
You’ll develop a strategic approach to leading ICT integration in your school, including a specific action plan.
