to ensure buy-in, integration and adoption.

success

students, families must be represented

tech facilitators, integrators, coaches

mentorships, partnerships, teams
• Build leadership capacity throughout the school community by
grade levels, depts. “laptop reps”, student junior tech support

effectiveness
• Create, develop multiple learning, support, PD modalities,
opportunities, relief teacher periods, tutorial, lesson, bank,
