Share the iLead Institute with your principal

Register for Instructional Technology Leadership Institute

The Office of Instructional Technology (OIT) is offering New York City principals an additional opportunity to participate in a year-long iLead Instructional Technology Leadership Institute, beginning this spring with a 4-day prerequisite session. The goals of the institute are to prepare principals to meet the technological challenges of leading a 21st-century school, to guide instructional leaders in promoting the effective integration of technology into their classrooms, and to provide principals with the technology skills to view, manipulate and analyze data to inform instructional decisions.

This spring, the institute will guide leaders through four days of instruction focused on relevant research and alignment to the National Education Technology Standards for Administrators. During the course of the institute, participants will have the opportunity to visit a model school that demonstrates effective use of technology. Participants will also work with an on-site consultant to extend and expand the use of technology for instruction and school management. Participants will have access to online communication and collaboration tools created for this program.

OIT will fund selected applicants to participate in this year-long program. To learn more about the program and how to qualify for full funding and participation, see the online application at www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=7oTqSpKeBaYYi_2fmFverGVw_3d_3d. The application deadline is February 7 at 5 p.m. Please note that the program is a year-long commitment. Confirmation of acceptance into the institute, including the weeks of your attendance, will be forwarded to you via e-mail. For additional information, contact iLead@schools.nyc.gov.
