Abstract

The faculty of the NC State College of Education (CED) is in the process of transforming its organizational culture to better support educators as they deal with a changing technological landscape. We are developing and refining a model for change that will help twenty-first century teachers understand both the use and the potential of instructional technologies. Our panel (comprised of the CED Dean, the IT Director, and four CED faculty members) will describe the creation of a fertile landscape for change within our college that has resulted, in part, from our PT3 Grant, MentorNet. We believe there is a direct relationship between identifying the force vectors of our model and building order out of what, at times, appears to be organizational chaos.
