1B-3 Activity 7 School Staff Development

Staff development in ICT should be one that is seen as a need by all so that they may have ownership of the progamme.  Cooperation of staff will play a major role in the success or failure of the programme.  Another factor to bear in mind is the need for appropriate resources and the opportunity for staff to practice.  Of utmost importance is the need for skills that are taught to be integrated into different subject areas rather than to teach the skills in isolation.  Time lines should also be set to execute different aspects of the programme in order for it to be realized. For any school staff to move forward into the 21st Century, they have to be trained to integrate ICT into their subject areas and make its use a way of life at their school.
