Special Editorial: Technology Leadership for Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to Use Technology

Abstract

Teacher education leaders must attend to leadership practices that set direction, develop people, and redesign their programs of teacher education to develop technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge (TPACK) and skills in preservice teachers. This special editorial shares the results of a leadership‐strand discussion at the past two National Technology Leadership Summits (NTLS) focused on good teaching and organizational change that incorporates TPACK‐based practices. It highlights focus‐group results from College of Education deans, the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE) Innovation & Technology Committee, and other leaders attending NTLS regarding context‐specific products and processes needed to create change in teacher education at the local level.
