SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Study; technology training and technology leadership of principals. Requests the Department of Education, in cooperation with the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia, to conduct a study of the technology training and technology leadership of principals. Noting the necessity for technology knowledge and skills in today’s workplace and that leadership in technology is required in the educational setting to develop this knowledge and these skills, this resolution lays out components of this study. In this study, the Department of Education and the State Council must examine (i) the technological capabilities of principals; (ii) identify those traits that define an outstanding principal vis-a-vis technology; (iii) identify the skills and deficiencies of Virginia's school principals in the use and application of technology in education; (iv) define the necessary skills and knowledge to provide educational technology leadership in the Commonwealth; and (v) report on the number of principals receiving technology training, the current effectiveness of such training in promoting educational technology leadership, and recommend ways to enhance the effectiveness of and attendance at such training.
