Prior to the start of school, I was able to conduct an inservice program to help teachers integrate technology into their classroom instruction. From a professional development that I attended earlier in the year, I was able to gather multiple technology resources to use in classrooms. The majority of these programs/resources were free services that the staff were unaware of. At my inservice, I conducted several tutorials which included: Smart Express, Kahoot, Student Response Systems, etc..
I believe activities like these enable school leaders to step from being an “administrator” into a “school leader” role. Many school leaders choose to act as a manager rather than an instructional expert and the staff begins to question their expertise in the classroom. I believe more administrators need to step into this role more often.
From this activity, I’ve learned that it is imperative for school leaders to educate their staff on new practices and resources. In many schools, teachers settle into their traditional instructional methods and it is the school leader job to keep their school up to date with current effective practices.
