Abstract: At the 2012 National Technology Leadership Summit, the AACTE Innovation and Technology committee met with deans and school leaders to wrestle with the “wicked problem” of changing school culture and practices to ensure that teacher candidates are ready to grow as TPACK proficient teachers when they leave their teacher preparation program. This session will share a theory of action developed by the committee and suggested steps for implementing the change process.
