Abstract: Technology infusion is a visionary approach to addressing technology throughout teacher preparation programs. Seen as a long-term and complex change project, advancing technology infusion requires the tireless efforts of a champion. Navigating a change initiative so large, “from the back,” requires specific leadership talents. In this Birds of a Feather session, we will affirm the importance of the role of a champion for technology infusion through scenarios that pose obstacles for the champion.
