Context

• Glenelg School is a good representative of a
  metro school where there is a depth of expertise
  and a diversity of teachers. Online link
• Im a fulltime classroom teacher (3/4s) on the
  ICT committee but otherwise have no formal
  leadership position
• Therefore management structures and procedures
  are not always evident to me.
• I receive strong support for my own explorations
  and integration of ICT into the curriculum.

The process

• Up-to-date policies and documentation (although
  probably available) have not been readily
  accessible. Offline link link two
• A proactive approach to a more transparent and
  documented approach to ICT management structures
  and procedures is in place.
• This ppt file forms part of this process
