1) School leaders can support integrating technology (ICT) into classrooms by empowering teachers, creating a shared vision, and immersing teachers in professional development.
2) Teachers should be encouraged as "edupreneurs" to experiment with technology in their lessons in order to shift the school culture towards 21st century skills like collaboration and problem solving.
3) Professional development programs should include lessons observations, lesson study, and online courses to model technology integration and collaborative teaching practices for 21st century skills.

Supporting ICT: 4 Strategies for School Leaders
1. Changing Cultures: How U.S. School Leaders Support ICT Justin Reich EdTechTeacher.org Co-Director Harvard Graduate School of Education Doctoral Researcher Berkman Center for Internet and Society Fellow
5. U.S. Ed Policy, PD, and ICT – 14,000 independent school districts – 50 sets of state standards – Teacher education curriculum unique to every university. – Professional development unique to every district – Technology investments devoid of learning goals.
9. Technical Change vs. Adaptive Change Does promoting SDL and CoL require the application of well-established procedures and technical skills? Or does it require a paradigm shift in culture, values and mindset (along with a shift in procedures and technical skills)? Ron Heifetz, The Work of Leadership , http://mowgli.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/laurie-jump-off-balcony-leadership.pdf
32. It’s the hardest work I ever undertaken in my career. We’re trying to effect change in scale, and we have to “play on two playing fields” at once. We’re still being judged by the criteria for “Adequate Yearly Progress” and state accountability standards, while we are holding ourselves to a much higher standard. We have to succeed at both. It’s hard work, but it’s the right work to be doing. - Jim Merrill, Superintendent of Virginia Beach Public Schools (in Wagner, Global Achievement Gap)

With 30 years of history since the introduction of the personal computer, we have a pretty a good sense now of how it’s changing labor markets.
Early theory that computers would complement high skilled workers and replace low skilled workers, but more complicated Computers are really good a rules-based tasks Airline check in as an example of rules based task- only a limited set of possibilities, communication ins simple and can be scripted
This is where humans have a comparative advantage over computers…
Big decline in routine cognitive: the filing and bookkeeping are being done to a large extent by computers and to a lesser extent work is sent off shore. The cognitive demands of the labor market are greater than at any time in U.S. history.
Not just job composition that is changing, but the jobs them selves.
These ideas form the basis of the 21 st century skills movement, which argues that education needs to prepare students for the increasing cognitive demands of the workplace.
