ISTE 2011, Monday, June 27 - A Leadership Framework and Instrument For Technology Innovation in Schools

Presented by the William and Ida Friday Institute For Educational Innovation
Jeni Corn, NC State U
Pilots of 1:1 implementations similar to Maine. 3 year project
Features of a successful implantation measured what worked with a successful environment.
What are the successful characteristics for a technology implementation.
Hope the .ppt is available, because the presenter is going 100mph
The one point study author keeps making is that the principal must model behaviors that are expected from teachers including PD, use, observations for integration.
.ppt will be up on the wiki
The essential conditions and features are useful for us to glean for really any project initiative we are running.
The presenters are sharing some evaluator humor :-)
Very interesting study. It confirms much of what we already suspected - that principals have a vital role in the success of an Ed tech initiative due to the grip they have on many conditions in the school.
Go to the Friday Institue to get just about any construct for just about any technology project.
