#cpchat educationalleadership iste nets administrator

shared by Tracy Watanabe on 13 Aug 11 - No Cached
  •  National Educational Technology Standards for Administrators (NETS-A) as a starting point, what are the absolutely critical skills or abilities that administrators need to be effective technology leaders?
  • The NETS-A are organized around 5 major themes: Visionary Leadership, Digital Age Learning Culture, Excellence in Professional Practice, Systemic Improvement, and Digital Citizenship
  • But I think where it begins is with connections. It begins by developing a supportive network of peers that can enhance your comfort and familiarity with the components of these domains. I think where it begins is with no excuses. Try something new. Read about the latest. Communicate in a different way than you did before. You’ll find that you like it. Empower your teachers and students to help you develop in this area professionally, and share what you learn with others.

cpchat parent communication

  • Parent Communication: TO vs WITH
  • COMMUNICATING TO – GETTING THE INFORMATION OUT THERE newsletters reports announcements, newspaper articles and ads emails, SMS Website Twitter feed Blogs Facebook Page COMMUNICATING WITH – CREATING DIALOGUE face to face meetings -LISTEN parent phone calls emails that encourage replies website/blogs with comments enabled Twitter that encourages @ replies and dialogue Facebook pages and discussion boards that are open (and moderated) The key with parent communication is clarity of PURPOSE.  We cannot say that we communicate WITH parents effectively if we are not visible in the public and our technology does not encourage feedback and dialogue.  Technology is not a replacement for face-to-face dialogue but can be used in a way to increase the likelihood of these meetings through developing confidence and better school-family relationships.

  • you’ll find that it’s so much easier (and more fun) to sit on the sidelines and nitpick at what current leaders are doing than to actually do something yourself
  • Remember: you can’t blame your organization for not being _____________ enough if you haven’t stepped up to help lead them forward.
