Purpose
The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Mentor training program is targeted to produce qualified California CTOs for K12 educational organizations.  The vision for the program is:

An innovative training program that will prepare strategic leaders to inform, support, and drive efforts to improve teaching, learning and educational administration through knowledge management and the cost effective application of current and emerging technology.

This program provides classroom training which takes place in eight sessions (Friday night, Saturday all day).  Instructors are qualified and experienced CTOs. This program is unique because of the following four major components:

1) Participants are nominated and screened
2) Each participant is teamed with his/her own mentor
3) Training involves “hands-on” experience and job related activities that participants use to develop a professional portfolio
4) Training is offered at a substantially lower cost than other professional development courses.

The CTO Mentor Program is sponsored and managed by California Information Technology in Education (CITE)) in joint collaboration with the Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team (FCMAT) and the California County Superintendents Educational Services Association (CCSESA) and is supported by the California Department of Education (CDE).  It is our intent, through interagency collaboration to assist local education agencies in filling CTO vacancies throughout California with qualified CTOs.  It is also our intent to establish a model professional development program that prepares technology leaders to successfully address challenges facing California's education system.

Participants will improve their knowledge and abilities related to leadership, education and technology as they participate in the following course topics: vision, leadership, strategic planning, professional development, project management, organizational management, fiscal management and budgeting, technology infrastructure, student and staff data systems, security, personnel management, assessment, accountability, education technology, and technology policies and standards. The curriculum is reviewed each year by the CTO Mentor Steering Committee and updated as necessary to ensure it is reflective of the current functions and responsibilities required of a CTO in an educational agency.

We are pleased to present this professional development activity focused on technology, leadership and education.  We invite and encourage individuals to apply for these limited CTO Mentor Program placements.
