Use your best teaching skills to teach and coach rather than doing it for them. Avoid jargon, but don't simplify too much. Several schools provide staff development classes or seminars for principals. I recently had the opportunity to teach a group of principals from area schools how to use Power Point. They were eager, enthusiastic, and appreciative learners.
Principals can also model appropriate use of technology and in turn influence teachers .
If you are fortunate to have a technology savvy principal encourage him or her to help teach others. Scott has helped teach staff development classes for teachers and other administrators. Don't assume principals know what you expect them to know or understand the role of the media specialist in today's schools. Visionary leadership and sharing your role should be ongoing. A discussion with secondary principals indicated a lack of solid knowledge about our curricular role.
