Leaders develop clear outcomes for professional learning aligned with a vision for student learning. As noted in the National Education Technology plan leaders ensure availability of ongoing, job-embedded, just in time, and relevant professional learning opportunities. To achieve a balanced inclusive technology ecosystem that includes assistive technology, educational technology, and information technology, learning opportunities are provided that build the capacity of all stakeholders in the wider community.
Leaders ensure that learning opportunities enable participants to be fluent users of technology, creative and collaborative problem solvers and have the ability to address challenges when it comes to using technology for learning. Learning opportunities are differentiated so that all stakeholders have the knowledge and skills needed to achieve their roles and responsibilities across EdTech, AT, and InfoTech.
