Creating tech-savvier teachers | District Administration Magazine
- Some 93 percent of teachers believe that technology has a positive effect on student engagement. But 46 percent of teachers say they lack the training needed to use technology effectively with students.

- Training is more than showing teachers how to operate an iPad—in many cases, implementing technology requires a change in classroom structure.
- “Sometimes teachers who are used to teaching in front of a class and guiding students through one instructional activity are uncomfortable relinquishing that format,” he says. “It’s important to teachers to recognize up front that there is a shift in mindset that has to occur to get the learning benefits.”

- Leaders have a responsibility to design cultures that move educators from informational stances to transformational stances.
- the most effective way to do this in schools is to establish a culture of coaching and teaming.
- coaching is more about relationships than knowledge.
