Dear IETL Members,
As technology leadership continues to evolve, investing in the next generation of K–12 technology leaders has never been more important. The CoSN Early Career K–12 CTO Academy provides all aspiring and early-career technology leaders with the leadership skills, mentorship, andnational professional network they need to successfully lead technology initiatives that support teaching and learning.
As trusted leaders in Illinois, I hope you'll encourage members of your districts and professional networks to take advantage of this outstanding opportunity. Building a strong leadership pipeline today will strengthen Illinois schools for years to come. If you know someone ready to grow into a stronger technology leader or if that's YOU, IETL encourages you to apply today.
The CoSN Early CTO Academy requires two 90 minute meetings a month, and at least one meeting a month with your thought partner. Participants will also collaborate with their thought partner and create a five-minute presentation to their Early CTO peers and national thought partners.
Upon successful completion of this program, IETL will provide a $1,000 reimbursement towards the cost of the program. This reimbursement will be made to the district or the member based on paying for the program.
