Intel^® Teach Program Leadership Forum

The Intel® Teach Program Leadership Forums were launched in Australia in 2009, and focus on the critical role school leaders play in promoting, modelling and supporting technology in learning.

Forums provide education leaders with the opportunity to collaborate and share their experiences and approaches. They examine leadership behaviours which promote the integration of ICT as a tool to improve student learning. Resources and tools which support professional development, educator practice and student engagement are reviewed as well as Australian state standards and International Society for Technology in Education standards.

Goal

In this 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. Minimum duration for Intel Teach Leadership Forums is 4 hours.

This 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.
