How will my school benefit?
Simply put, schools need better technology leaders. They need leaders who can inspire and effectively manage programs of innovation and change in areas that significantly impact students, teachers, and parents. These leaders must be able to successfully embed programs for digital literacy and citizenship competencies, and empower teachers and learners while balancing elements of control. Many tech leaders must, in addition to this, manage interdependent enterprise and learning systems while remaining vigilant in guarding against immediate security threats. They also need to keep an eye on the horizon to ensure future-readiness and sustainable systems.
What will I learn in the Program?
You will learn how to lead for growth, change, and sustainability in a dynamic environment with content structured around the refreshed framework of the ISTE Administrator Standards. Within these, you are guided towards mastery of the key capabilities and competencies desired by leading international independent schools. These learning outcomes include:
How do the instruction and coursework progress?
The Program will commence with the three-day Leadership Lab. This lab will yield most of the personalized goals that you will pursue throughout the program. Think of it as a blueprint for a technology plan. Courses 1-5 will begin immediately after this in sequential order. During each course, learners will actualize and operationalize the concepts and skills acquired during the Leadership Lab by applying and reflecting on real-world application of the material. Assessments are highly varied to capture learning evidence in the form of case studies, reflections, and real-time video that serve to move your technology program forward.
How is this Program unique?
The learning outcomes and associated content have been developed by our instructors out of years of experience leading innovative schools through complex change. Our team will share the wisdom and strategies that no other program can, tailored uniquely for technology leaders in international independent schools. Moreover, the innovative format leverages years of combined online and blended teaching experience to provide intensive, contextual, personalized, and collaborative learning experiences that provide true mastery, not theoretical learning.
How much does it cost and what are my payment options?
The full program fee is $3000 USD not including any travel costs (for the face-to-face sessions at the start and the end of the program) or the cost of university credit (if you wish to apply for it). Participants can opt to pay the full program fees up-front for a 10% discount. Alternatively, they can pay 50% upon registration followed by the balance 50% nine months after the start of the course.
