TICAL California Leadership Cadre

The TICAL Leadership Cadre is the foundation of the TICAL project. The original members served as the design team for the TICAL portal and contributed the first resources and features. Going forward, cadre members continue to contribute content to the portal and help guide its development. In addition, cadre members provide face-to-face orientation sessions, serve as mentors to colleagues, and model good technology leadership.

 

The Cadre is composed of current and former school administrators, each of whom represents a different geographic region. Feel free to contact the member nearest you to schedule an orientation session for administrators in your district or organization.
