Fall 2011

Dear Title IID Principals,

As part of your participation in the Title IID grant we will be hosting another series of iLead workshops for administrators and for teachers. These innovative program for will provide administrators and lead teachers with the skills, knowledge and expertise to prepare your educational community for the 21st century. The foundation of this program is to recognize the academic rewards of leading a 21st century school into the future by promoting the effective integration of technology into classrooms, and providing educators with the technology skills to design instruction and better inform the decision making process.

The Title IID iLead Institutes will guide educators and administrators through three days of instruction focused on relevant research aligned to the National Education Technology Standards for Administrators (NETS-A). The focus will move from standard laptop use to mobile learning.
