In the current location that I am at, there are a lot of conditions that were listed in the list. It does have a great shared vision at the school. All teachers work together helping each other with their new technology. The school has recently upgraded their technology at the school. Each teacher has received a new MacBook and three new iMacs in their classroom. They also received SmartBoards in each of their classes. 90% of the teachers are very resistant to the new technology and the other teachers who are tech savvy help all the time. The principal is very empowered and is attempting everything possible for adequate funding for his school. There is ongoing learning and support for all teachers at this school and they are very student centered. Students are able to get a lot of resources at this school compared to others that I have been at. One flaw I see in my own classroom is my master teachers assessment tools, there is not a lot of evaluation and implementation after she assesses the students.
These conditions are very sensible and are needed in all types of work environments, not just education. The most essential are ongoing professional learning and technical support. Without proper training teachers will not use their new technology and it will go to waste.
