ICT PD programme has been very influential – early promise of an e-learning transformation and connected school system has remained largely unrealised as yet – while other countries have invested heavily in a more coherent approach in terms of infrastructure, NZ has got much right in terms of a focus on change and pedagogy and networked people – the grass roots. Underlying principles Principles that underpin the development of the ICT PD programme model are: Collaboration and sharing of practice and are critical components of effective professional learning. Teachers’ competence and confidence in ICT is critical in preparing students to participate successfully in the 21st century society and workforce. Integrating ICT in the education system (via appropriate and relevant government and sector initiatives) can transform the way teachers teach and students learn by opening access to a wider range of learning opportunities for more students. ICTs will assist teachers and schools to undertake the required administrative processes more efficiently and effectively. School leaders are best placed to make decisions about how to meet their school’s PD requirements. WITH SUPPORT
