Transform Pedagogy with Compelling Learning Environments

Action Steps
for Superintendents and District Leadership Teams

• Collaborate as a leadership team to prioritize your district's goals for transforming pedagogy, learning environments and 21st century skills outcomes, and investigate the ways in which technology can support these goals.
• Conduct a needs assessment and a gap analysis of the technology infrastructure and technology use in your district. (Where are you now? Where do you want to be?)
• Determine what your district needs to do to create a comprehensive, coherent, aligned system for using technology effectively to achieve your goals.
• Revise your district's technology plan, including projected infrastructure needs to accommodate planned technology growth.
• Develop and implement engaging curricula that include interdisciplinary studies, problem-based learning and the like.
• Provide professional development that enables teachers to move from traditional classroom management structures to compelling learning environments.
• Model compelling pedagogy in face-to-face and electronic learning environments.
