When it comes to Technology, teachers need as much scaffolding as students - 3 views

jenwilkerson on 19 Mar 12This blog post highlights the lack of scaffolding to teachers. There is a great quote from Leading for Instructional Improvement that refers to "Reciprocal Accountability" describing the responsibility school leaders have to provide the same differentiated learning to their teachers as the teachers are expected to give to their students.

Sarah Melton on 20 Mar 12I can so relate to this. As a future leader, I embrace it! It will be interesting to see this acheivement gap narrow as younger teachers who were raised a healthy diet of Twitter, Facebook (that is already old-isn't it?), Skype, etc. jump into the technology whirlwind without a bump. Seriously, have you seen tweens to 20 somethings even go into a restaurant without their cell phones placed carefully beside their utensils?
