  • Effective school leadership is the single most important influence on student learning
  • This does not mean school leaders act alone. It means that school leaders collaborate with teachers, parents, and support staff to develop the school culture, resources, and focus that support student learning.
  • Once school leaders begin to establish Literacy with ICT Across the Curriculum as a focus for initiating change, they can construct a plan to realize this vision. According to a comprehensive study that reviewed theory, research, and practice related to educational leadership, there are three critical factors related to increased student learning. These factors are the


    • ability to maintain a positive school culture with order, discipline, support for teachers, and resources
    • knowledge of curriculum, teaching practices, and student assessment as they relate to an increase in student learning
    • understanding of how to increase student engagement in their learning (Waters et al.)
  • Professional learning
  • Effective leaders understand how to balance growth through change while, at the same time practising aspects of culture, values, and norms worth preserving

  • Walk-throughs for School Leaders
  • A Literacy with ICT walk-through is a short (4 to 6 minute) informal classroom/lab/library observation by the school leader.
  • It involves observing student engagement, teaching practices, and learning environment intended to develop student literacy with ICT in the context of curricular outcomes.

  • The walk-through is followed closely by informal conversation between the school leader and the teacher, to facilitate teacher reflection about how to maximize student literacy with ICT.
  • Walkthroughs are not teacher-evaluation sessions and should avoid evaluative comments.
  • Each school staff can modify their own walk-through procedures and develop a set of questions that school leaders could consider during their visits. The questions should be worded to encourage teacher reflection about their practice rather than to elicit a specific answer for the school leader.
  • Similarly, school leaders and teachers need to decide about the nature of the feedback, keeping in mind that the purpose of the walk-through is to promote reflective dialogue about promising teaching and learning practices related to student literacy with ICT.

  • Motivation comes from success. Use the same strategies as with students - meet
    them where they are
  • Training needs to be scaffolded, accessible and continuous

    How do we encourage those teachers who don't see or refuse to see the value in technology integration?
