Time Management & Organizational Skills

Teacher Technology Competencies

At LEADTech closing sessions, participants are asked to share with the cohort any skills, programs, etc. that they think were due to the LEADTech experience. Nancy McKay, the principal of Crestworth Middle School in East Baton Rouge Parish, shared a document she designed to check teacher technology competencies. Nancy distributed this list at the end of the school year to all staff in order that they might have the summer to work on mastering these skills. There is also a more detailed assessment list, which can serve as a "road map” for principals who want to improve their teachers' technology skills.
