There are many variables and many people responsible to ensure that the technology standards are met in a school. In the top international schools it starts at the hiring process. Administrators need to hire qualified people who are not only experienced competent teachers in their subject matter, but also teachers who have the tech skills required for their particular school. For example, in a one-to-one learning environment
it is important the new teachers have the tech skills to not only survive but rather thrive when in a tech savvy school. They shouldn’t see the tech at the new school as weight hanging over their shoulders, but rather as incredible support for better teaching. It is hard enough to adjust to a new school let alone learn all the new tech skills at the new school if the teacher is not up on their tech. As mentioned before, the curriculum coordinator must also play an overseeing role in all of this. With programs like Atlas Rubicon they have the tech support they need to ensure technology standards are being met. After them there is the principal and department heads. They too have access
to Atlas Rubicon and should be popping into classrooms to see what is going on. From informal and form visits they can get an idea of the technology being used in the classrooms and the technology skills that students are learning and using.
