Support from administrators is paramount to success in teacher training. Administrators are in a position to provide time and resources for teacher training. Administrators' beliefs that training and the subsequent use of educational technologies in the classroom will make a difference in the classroom will carry over to the teachers. Without that belief, efforts to incorporate technology into the classroom will be limited by the individual teacher's ability to sustain change and garner resources. Support Support has many faces in the K12 environment.
Support ranges from the most technical to the most non-technical support.
This support is often needed on the spot, in the midst of a classroom crisis. On a different, and sometimes less technical level, support is needed in identifying what is possible. Teachers need to know the next step in their learning. Support is needed for this to happen. Credibility is very important in who provides support for teachers, students and others in the K12 environment.
