Implementing digital education in schools from a Change Management Mindset
Digital education often fails because teachers and learners do not have the ideal mindset for making the changes needed. This course offers schools a holistic approach to implementing digital education. The school principal and all teachers are involved in Level One which focuses on personal mindset change. Levels Two and Three develop the skills of a Change Facilitation team who will be identified by the school after Level 1. The school can decide who they want to nominate for participation in this team, either a smaller group of people or the entire staff complement. As this team will be driving the implementation of digital projects in the school, it might be more meaningful to select a smaller project team. This Change Facilitation team works through managing change in individuals and developing and implementing a successful project plan for the implementation of digital education in their school. Most work here will be done individually, but there will also be activities where the Change Facilitation team will get together to work on joint activities. This course will be valuable for any individual interested in completing it. Just register and complete all three levels. Group tasks can also be completed as an individual.
