Doctoral Student

Legislative mandates, state curriculum requirements, professional educational guidelines, and a shrinking global environment that is encompassed with technology have forced educators to provide learning experiences that prepare the student for a high level of literacy in this area. Principals are forced to motivate teachers to utilize instructional technology to prepare their students to meet these curriculum and legislative components as well as prepare them to compete in a technology mandated workforce. Many schools lack the time and other resources to support teachers in the change process of implementing technology into their curriculum. Cooperatives between schools and institutions of higher education can help administrators provide an economically feasible solution to the growing need of technological literacy in their schools
